Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - April 7, 2026 [Doof]

From Monica

Howdy Hordelings! The Tuesday night ONT is upon us. Glad you could make it. Open thread, as always. What's on YOUR mind tonight?

How much do you spend to look your best? Probably not as much as this lady!

Ivy League alum turned PR boss explains why she spends [$12K] per year on hair, nails, Botox

An Ivy League graduate and the owner of a PR firm revealed why she spends $12,000 (over ₹11 lakh) a year on beauty treatments and clothes, especially after moving from New York to Utah. In a conversation with Business Insider, she revealed that she undergoes the pricey procedures to keep up with beauty standards.

“Utah has a slower pace, less diversity, and a more conservative culture, but one of the biggest challenges is the pressure to maintain a youthful, fresh appearance. Even though NYC is very focused on appearance, it's not as bad as Utah,” Hilary Reiter Azzaretti told the outlet, adding that she felt Utah was very “beauty-centric and that a lot of people here cared about longevity, wellness, and appearance.”

***

She explained, “Half the pressure is self-induced. Outsiders might perceive younger PR people as more on top of trends, especially with social media. That's not always true, since PR is a relationship-driven business, but because it feels that way, trying to hide your age soothes your ego,” adding, “The other half comes from what you see on the job. There are a lot of influencers in Utah, so I'm inundated with images of beautiful people every day. It feels inevitable that you'll place greater emphasis on your appearance based on what you're seeing.”

Your call if you want to do so.

This lady takes a different approach.

Dutch Politician Expelled from Her Party for Editing Her Publicity Photo Too Much

Patricia-Reichman-photo-rr.jpg

A Dutch city councillor has been kicked out of her political party after editing her publicity photo so heavily that she became unrecognisable.

Looking at her publicity photo, you’d be tempted to think that Patricia Reichman is the youngest-looking 59-year-old woman in the world. We’ve featured our share of “ladies of eternal youth” on Oddity Central over the years, but Reichman definitely takes the cake. Only, in reality, she looks very different; some would say she is a totally different person.

***

The Dutch councilwoman faced a lot of criticism after photos of her next to the one she obviously edited went viral online, but she continued claiming that she genuinely looks a lot younger than 59.

“When I’m out and about with my son, people often assume I’m his girlfriend,” she said. “I hear it all the time, that I look remarkably young for my age.”

So you're telling me there are fake photos of people online? As Ace sometimes says, I shan't believe it. I shannot.

Happy Anniversary to The Bad News Bears!

Younger son of Doof was big into baseball for many years. We watched that movie when he was maybe 10 or 11. There's a scene with Walter Matthau driving while several beer cans roll around the front seat. My son noticed the beer cans and said "Oh I didn't realize you were allowed to drink and drive back in the 70s." I just laughed.

Horde-worthy throwback story

How to Insult Your Western Hunting Guide

hunter_antelope-rr.jpg

When a Southern client trash-talks Western hunting to his Wyoming antelope guide, all hell breaks loose

The story, “The Sheriff’s Pronghorn,” originally ran in the April 1953 issue of Outdoor Life.


“There’s one reason, mister,” the Georgia sheriff said stoutly, “why I don’t like your Wyoming country.”

Max Wilde bristled like a stallion in a brush corral. “And what’s that?” he barked.

“Everything’s too easy. You get on a horse, ride for a day, camp, walk out to the edge of a grassy park, and bang! You’ve got an elk. Or you sit for a couple of afternoons over a rotten carcass of some kind until a grizzly walks out of the shadows. You put your sights on his neck and squeeze off the trigger. Blooie! He folds. These buck deer tiptoe right up to you and chew the buttons off your coat. Antelope? I’d just as soon shoot a yearling calf in the feed lot.”

I glanced at Max. His mouth was twisted into an ominous angle. “It ain’t as exciting as a quail hunt clown in Georgia, is it?” he asked mildly.

“Not by a damsite!” Sheriff Henry Mosely said flatly.

***

The sheriff finished his stirrup adjustments and we followed Max at a fast walk through the sage and along the rim of a canyon. At the head of the mesa, where it broke abruptly into a ragged, rocky point, we flushed a herd of six antelope. They ran for a startled moment, then stopped to look back. Five were does, with nervous legs and huge ears alerted toward us. The sixth was a buck with sweeping horns that branched above his eyes and curved back on slender tips. Max studied them for a moment through his glasses.

***

The sheriff was an old hand now. He boiled out of the saddle, pulling his gun as he went. He seated his shell in the chamber and swung on the running buck. He held his fire so long that I got a little panicky, thinking he had frozen at the controls. I was so tight that I jumped when the rifle barked. The flying buck went end over end, sprawled in the sage, made a feeble attempt to rise and went down again, shot behind the heart. For a moment the sheriff looked as though he did not believe it himself, then he whooped and threw his hat into the air. Mine went with it. Max just grinned.

Long story, but a really good one. Check it out!

OK, maybe AI isn't asshoe. At least for the first 22 seconds!

1 I think the AI’s are slowly becoming Christian.

I asked it why are adult baptisms on the rise and it responded: Adult baptisms are rising in U.S. Catholicism due to a growing spiritual hunger among young adults seeking truth, meaning, and beauty in a secular age.

Indian counting lesson: a "lakh" is 100,000. Or, as they write it, 1,00,000. So $12000 is 1.1 million rupees.

Next up is a "crore," 10,000,000. Or 1,00,00,000.

76 OK, I thought I was going senile, since I didn't remember an elf-eared genie character on the Flintstones.

DDG says that's Jenni The Genie, from a single episode of "The New Fred And Barney Show" in 1979.

82 An Ivy League graduate and the owner of a PR firm revealed why she spends $12,000 (over ₹11 lakh) a year on beauty treatments and clothes, especially after moving from New York to Utah.
---
$1000 a month for hair, nails, Botox, and clothes isn't that much.
Mani/pedi easily $200
Haircut $100+ easily plus products another $100
Botox easily another $100-$200
Makeup is expensive
And you can easily spend $1000 a month just on clothes, shoes, not to mention a single purse could easily top that.
I see it all the time. I personally don't spend close to that but I know lots who do.

And the first half was ok - he pointed out it was capitalism. And then he even got into Deng Xiao Ping and how his experiments with capitalism made China the power it is today.

Oh, did I mention Mr Harris is one of those voxplainer guys?

Yes so the second half covers why capitalism is bad. Did you know not everyone's wealth increased at the same rate? And have you heard of GLOBAL WARMING?!? Why its going to kill us all! We have only 12 years left to save the planet!

91 You realize The Flintstones will be 66 effin' years old this fall? Put in perspective, when it premiered in 1960, 66 years back was 1894.

Who recalls the other prime-time cartoon series that followed in its wake? The Alvin Show with the Chipmunks on CBS, The Bugs Bunny Cartoon Hour on ABC ("Overture -- dim the lights; this is it, we'll hit the heights . . ."), and Top Cat -- I think that was an NBC show.

Plus Jonny Quest, four years later, an entirely new kind of animated show.

On the Rich Girl song...my husband initially thought I was a wealthy girl with a father having a yuge ranch. Because when running short of $ I'd call him and ask him to sell "one of my cows." I had two out of his herd of 200+. I also did not know they only had one calf per year to sell. My father, on the other end of the phone, would simply send money vs explaining it to me. A 200 acre farm is not land baron style ranching, more of a hobby farm.

He did not marry me for my money, nor did I marry him for his. We were po' white folk starting out. And glad of it.

I never asked my parents for a dime after I graduated college or we married. Which explains why my father was so thrilled to marry me off. Surprised I did not come with a dowry! Here! Take her!!!Thanks!

Famously played Alice Kramden on The Honeymooners. The Flinstones were pretty much a knock-off of the Honeymooners. Jackie Gleason got mad and wanted to sue Hanna-Barberra over it.

His lawyers talked him out. They said, Jackie, you probably won't win, but you might, and if you do, do you want to be remembered as the guy who took Fred Flintstone off the air?

That's looking more to the right from the first picture. You can see Mercury to the far lower right, all line along the ecliptic with Saturn and Mars. Yep, Saturn and Mars are closer to the Sun (angle wise, of course) than Mercury right now.

Neptune is in there too, between Saturn and Mars, but's far too dim at those camera settings to show up.

235 Sure, a lot of people are just retards, but politicians and media goons consistently fool smart people constantly too.

I think the reason they are so able to fool so many people is that most people are clean living and run in a similar crowd.

They always set off all my alarm bells because I ran in a bad crowd with a lot of crooks as a teenager/young man, so they're very familiar to me. I know the stink of criminals.

273 With the music click behind the top pic, YouTube sidebar offered up a Shroud of Turin link. Some of these are okay, others annoying. Also, I'm pretty familiar with about everything they have to say. At over 34 minutes, I wasn't going to watch, but I did, watching at 1.5x.
https://youtu.be/QttVlxa0IRI

Aside from a couple of "what do you think? Leave a comment" interruptions, it was pretty thorough and up-to-date with everything I know at least, from Segundo Pia's groundbreaking photography to the 3-D computer analysis, the "debunking" based on a piece of the repairs not the original cloth, to the pollen and blood and scourgemarks validations.

One bit I hadn't known. Scientists determined that the image method was able to be duplicated, on a very small scale. To create the image on the Shroud, though, would take "a simultaneous energy pulse of 34 trillion watts lasting less than a billionth of a second." Whoa!

The meaning of Jesus' raising, physical body or what, is of course a long running debate with theological implications. The method by which the Shroud image could be formed likewise.

Dang, Pixy, can't you give us a LITTLE more comment length? continued...

274 Of all the explanations for its creation, the one I've found the most intriguing was in The Urantia Book, a self-proclaimed revelation from the first half of the 20th Century. When Jesus rose, his body still lay in the tomb. The UB says that the angels received permission from the celestial bureaucracy that, rather than watch the Master's mortal body decay, they asked " for immediate dissolution. We do not propose to employ our technique of dematerialization; we merely wish to invoke the process of accelerated time" "…a return of the 'dust to dust,' without the intervention of the delays of time and without the operation of the ordinary and visible processes of mortal decay and material corruption." Such a process could create the kind of high-powered flash needed to create the Shroud image.

However, after Mary and Peter and John had seen the burial cloths lying there undisturbed, the captain of the temple guards was sent to the tomb, "to remove the grave cloths. The captain wrapped them all up in the linen sheet and threw them over a near-by cliff."

If the Shroud is authentic, SOMEone found the bundle at the bottom of the cliff.

The UB has nothing to say about that. Heh.

Lawyers do something similar, particularly female ones. I wouldn't be surprised to learn they edit or modify them in all sorts of ways too now, but it's long been common to find them using photos from a decade or more earlier in their professional bios. I've seen photos 25 years old still in use.

301 Statement from Bibi's office sez Lebanon not included in cease-fire. Guess we'll see. Initially was shocked to see some accounts (Pakistani announcement?) include Lebanon in the ceasefire. Major Israeli operation well under way, objective is dead serious (no more Hezbollah threat), and there's lots of work to be done. Every day until it's finished, northern Israel lives under siege.

The last time I encountered a large group of pronghorn, they were feeling frisky and decided to race me down the highway at about 50-55 miles per hour. I kept my distance because I understand their disposition.

But I wondered about the tourists driving behind me. Once I passed by the herd, I no longer saw the tourists in my mirror. Chances are they hit one doing 75 mph and totaled their vehicle.

309 "Rolling ceasefires" aside (funny term from earlier MidEast wars), prospects for an actual end to festivities with Iran seem miniscule (duh). First, there has to be free movement through the Strait. Second, if accurately reported, the US demands in negotiations during the 2 weeks are comprehensive and proper, meaning there's no chance any of them will be agreed to.

Israel, with Gaza, avoided the tremendous danger of ceasefires with opponents who extermination is the minimum serious objective - that you can't start the party up again. Bibi did, several times. This of course only applies to western countries, and especially the US in its current unserious incarnation.

With Trump I'm not very concerned about it. I am assuming his comical statements about offing the first string of Iranian "leadership" constituting "regime change" are pure chin music, aimed at a mysterious audience.

CHILE SIDES WITH ARGENTINA ON THE FALKLANDS

Chile has officially declared its support for Argentina’s claim over the Falkland Islands.
This came in a joint statement after a meeting between the two countries’ leaders.
The Falklands are British territory - defended with British blood in 1982.
Now more countries are openly testing us because they sense weakness in London.
Britain must make it crystal clear:
The Falklands are ours and will remain ours forever.

324 I don't think it pays to have an opinion about the cease fire. It could be sincere. It could be misdirection to clear human shields away from targets. It could be both, something else. My position has always been that showing up, sending multiple rungs of the Iranian chain of command to hell, blowing up some stuff, and doing it all without breaking a sweat is worthwhile in and of itself. And unlike Twitter U, I know I don't know shit and will find out when I find out, if I find out.

Milei should offer the people of the Falklands a deal: become a protectorate of Argentina, since Britain has fallen to the muslim hordes, and can no longer protect the Falklanders. Argentina will preserve inshore fishing rights for the Falklanders; offshore will be Argentina's exclusive zone, where Falklanders may also fish. No muslims permitted to settle in Falklands, and English will continue as the official language there, but have Spanish taught as a second language.

I reading up on photography, after getting on that tangent reading some discussion about Apollo vs Artemis. Artemis is all digital. Apollo was all film. Don't know much about it, other than film has its pluses and minuses and digital the same.

The cameras they're using on Artemis are Nikons, about 10 year old models (tried and well-tested -- you do NOT take something new fangled into space without extensive testing). They can do things with those cameras that would be impossible with Apollo film.

Yet, as far as resolution goes, the Apollo film has it beat. I swear, the Apollo color photos do just sort of look better somehow, and was reading the arguments back and forth about this.

I saw one across the street from him laying on the woman's lawn by the curb, she comes home and goes to pull into her driveway and the deer gets up and moves a little as if to say yeah she's old, don't want to get run over here. As soon as she parked the car the deer goes an lays back down and just watches her get out of the car. We had 15 of them wandering around the grounds of the shop I work out of.

There is no reason in the planet of hell that any deal needs to be made with those murdering knuckle draggers, just erase them from the fucking planet.

367 I can see where beauty crap adds up. I have never been a girly girl, but when I left SoCal in 2011, my girly friends regularly spent 250-300 to get their hair done ( cut, conditioned, highlights, blow outs, tip), 150 on facials, couple hundred to get everything from the eyebrows down waxed ( eyebrows shaped, upper lip, armpits, lady bits, legs and toes waxed, Armenian friends also had their forearms waxed) manicure/pedicure was a hundred with a tip...that's 650 right there, and that's not including Botox, which is expensive, and also doesn't include all the crap they do to their faces like microblading, micro needling, etc. And not all of it is done monthly, but it still adds up.

There is absolutely a certain class of LDS women who take this very, very seriously. I can also see where a person in PR especially in certain fields, would feel the pressure to do all that.

Thank God I never have. I've lived here 15 years. One trip to the hair salon, 2, possibly 3, mani/pedis. I need to find somewhere to get my legs and such waxed, though; getting hard for me to hold a razor.

Missiles launched from Iran were seen over Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and the West Bank and intercepted by Israeli defence systems in the early hours of Wednesday, April 8.

The attacks came just hours after US President Donald Trump announced a two‑week ceasefire agreement with Iran, aimed at easing tensions following weeks of escalation triggered by US‑Israeli strikes on Iranian targets

U.S. President Donald J. Trump calls Wednesday a “big day for World Peace!”, following tonight’s announced two-week ceasefire agreement with Iran.

Trump states that the United States will assist with the buildup of ships in the Strait of Hormuz and that reconstruction can begin in Iran.

The President adds that, “We'll be loading up with supplies of all kinds, and just ‘hangin' around’ in order to make sure that everything goes well. I feel confident that it will. Just like we are experiencing in the U.S., this could be the Golden Age of the Middle East!!!”

Posted by: banana Dream at April 07, 2026 06:53 PM (3uBP9)

I had this one tenderizer I really loved for grilling or baking cuts of meat, with razor-sharp blades stood up in a row on a spring-loaded brace. You grab the handle, and the blades are not exposed; you push it into the meat, and the brace compresses while the blades continue on to pierce. Wham wham wham wham! Then marinate, and it soaks in deeply.

The problem was, with the plastic case and fiddly bits, unfixable breakage was inevitable. It was a very disposable tool, and the more such I outlast, the more I would rather get durable ones. So I never replaced it.

87 Unofficial Trump on X@trump_repost . 20s
The alleged Statement put out by CNN World News is a FRAUD, as CNN well knows.

The false Statement was linked to a Fake News site (from Nigeria) and, of course, immediately picked up by CNN, and blared out as a "legitimate" headline.

The Official Statement by Iran was just released, and posted on TRUTH, below. Authorities are looking to determine whether or not a crime was committed on the issuance of the Fake CNN World Statement, or was it a sick rogue player?

CNN is being ordered to immediately withdraw this Statement with full apologies for their, as usual, terrible "reporting." Results of the investigation will be announced in the near future.

Once I was out walking our dogs and the crazy one started attacking a yellow jacket nest in the ground. Before I could react I had a mess of the little f'ers attacking me and both dogs. Once I got away and the bugs killed, yes they followed us back home, we called the vet and asked what to do about their stings. They both got stung a bunch. The vet said to give them Benadryl which I did.

They got totally hopped up on goofballs. One just sat in front of a wall staring at it for two hours. If it could talk it would have been saying, "oh wow man, do you see that? Oh wow. Oh wow...."

Rearm? With what?

Maybe some drones and missiles to launch randomly at their regional neighbors? That'll be helpful...

Long story with much drama I won't get into, but one flew up my maxi sundress the afternoon Princess Diana died. I was supposed to be supervising our son in the garage using a table saw. I was there but drinking wine and reading a magazine.

When I screeched into the house his father thought son had cut off a finger, but it was just me running down the hall asking for Benadryl, baking soda, vinegar and meat tenderizer...stat. From one bite I had a huge bite, bigger than my hand. Painful. Had the tv on at midnight when she had the car crash.

Woke my husband to tell him she died and he said,"Well, that's sad but I really don't care."

Trump Accepts Deal for Two Week Ceasefire, Saying Sides Are Very Close to a Permanent Deal

Ach.

Sorry I had to get out and do the sanding and varnishing before I lost the light.

trumpceasefireaccept.jpg

I think this is Trump looking for an easy exit but it's possible he's just biding time.

The price of oil moves partly on information but mostly on speculation. Traders bid up the price of oil in anticipation of a shortage later, at which point they can sell for a big profit.

Trump has been playing games with oil traders letting them know: Do not get too far over your skis selling and buying oil for too high a price or I will claim that we are very close a deal or otherwise inject news into the headlines that will cause the price of oil to fall and you to lose money.

So... did he do this to send a shock to oil traders?

I don't know but Clay Travis says oil prices are plunging.

Clay Travis
@ClayTravis

1h

Trump and Iran agree to a two week ceasefire subject to the Strait of Hormuz being immediately opened. The price of oil and gas is plummeting. Yet again all the people losing their minds on Twitter today saying nuclear war was going to happen look like complete morons.

Iran began launching drones and missiles at both UAE and Israel.

Israel, of course, is permitted to fire back. So is UAE.

Tuq'r will find that "disgusting, actually," and will also attack Trump for abusing the poor oil traders.

I have a friend who is an ultrablue Democrat and also Jewish and he claims this just to excuse the Democrat Party for wanting to destroy Israel. It's his cope for explaining why Republicans are still evil and antisemtic even though they're Israel's allies and his filthy degenerate race communist party or its enemies.

One can hope for the best, but this certainly looks like a win for the islamic republic.

Remember that we started this particular campaign. They were content at the time to quietly build their missiles and advance their nuclear research. Because we started the fight their primary goal was to survive, which they have. The particular people are now younger, and have been promoted early, but the regime itself is the same.

Second, their particular approach to the war, attack civilian infrastructure in any country they can reach, and traffic in Hormuz, until pressure was put on Trump to call of the fighting, clearly succeeded. So they accomplished both their general and specific goals for the campaign.

We on the other hand are apparently getting a player to be named later. in #twoweeks. But we should celebrate because the TV tells us the fighting is over, or something.

But your basic complaint, that we didn't achieve regime change in Iran (I assume that's where you are going), is true and I don't disagree. In the end, though, I have assumed the Persian people will decide who rules. Unless the regime still retains terroristic powers against hte population, that is.

Now we have the opportunity to see where they consolidate their assets while we restock and prep for a next phase. At some point the people are going to have to establish themselves.

125 I think the situation with Iranian radicals is like weeds in a garden. Unless you eradicate them completely, they're gonna come back. Unless we completely wipe out the IRGC and the mullahs and their associates and see a commitment to a secular government and human rights it will all just come back.

This is a weakness in our system. The mullah's know they just have to wait us out and a new president, preferably (for them) a democrat, replaces Trump and everything goes back the way it was.

I think it would help immensely if a few dems came out and said they would continue the Trump doctrine if they retake the Presidency in 2028.

Fat chance that will happen. More likely the flow of pallets of cash and gutless appeasement will resume.

I'm sure they think Allah wills it.

One can hope for the best, but this certainly looks like a win for the islamic republic.

Remember that we started this particular campaign. They were content at the time to quietly build their missiles and advance their nuclear research. Because we started the fight their primary goal was to survive, which they have. The particular people are now younger, and have been promoted early, but the regime itself is the same.

Second, their particular approach to the war, attack civilian infrastructure in any country they can reach, and traffic in Hormuz, until pressure was put on Trump to call of the fighting, clearly succeeded. So they accomplished both their general and specific goals for the campaign.

We on the other hand are apparently getting a player to be named later. in #twoweeks. But we should celebrate because the TV tells us the fighting is over, or something.

It will take them years to recover the status quo ante, and we can prevent that at a time of our choosing.

More importantly, regime change is not within our capabilities. It would require a lengthy ground war, and there is zero political will for it.

254 >>I thought Iran already broke the ceasefire...

Maybe. It's not when the missiles land, it's when the were launched.

I don't think Trump was bluffing about the 8 pm deadline. Iran didn't seem to think he was bluffing. And if Trump thinks they violate the cease fire I believe he will level them.

Trump isn't going to just walk away now. We've been liviing with an armed and vicious Iran for nearly 50 years. I can wait a couple weeks with a largely toothless Iran.

Very muddled thinking.
---------------------------------
Well much of the crowd here seems to be Gen X or older. They are used to a world where the press explained things. They made a lot of stuff up too, but they didn't sperg out like the media does now.

People who grew up waiting for a narrative to understand aren't used to forming one themselves. This is not to say that the young are better off. They often have no narrative they follow at all (or they watch idiotic "influencers".

After 9-11 we won the war in Afghanistan with basically two ODA’s some air power and a bunch of afghan NA guerrilla fighters. We thought it was over at that point.

Judy Gold shocked by ‘brazen’ antisemitism during two NYC shows this weekend
By Nicki Gostin
Published April 7, 2026, 6:15 p.m. ET

82 Comments
A veteran New York standup tells Page Six she’s “shocked [by] how brazen” antisemites have become at the city’s comedy clubs.

Judy Gold was left “stunned” when she encountered Jew-hating hecklers at two different comedy clubs over the weekend.

Gold, 63, was performing at the New York Comedy Club on Friday night when a vile audience member shouted “You’re a Jew”

===========================
Just another night in New York, 2026.

261 Crikey, I'm aware you can't magic munitions into being.
Sigh.
But they were beavering around frantically after Operation Hammer last year, digging out the bombed sites, and working overtime to repair/recover. My point was simply that they will be bending every sinew to rearm.
I'm hoping like hell the Iranian resistance will see that this is their best change to crowbar the bastards out of the driver's seat, kill as many of them as possible, and take their country back. But we'll see.

262 "Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif: "I am pleased to announce that the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America, along with their allies, have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere including Lebanon and elsewhere, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY."

I am so confused!! (not really...) I thought there was a ceasefire ! then... what's up with BMS ??

The oil is what they'd send out (not hard in a ceasefire) - the weapons are what they'd be paid in...I can see many of our "frenemies" working that deal for them and helping sneak them in...

Posted by: Kindltot at April 07, 2026 08:57 PM (rbvCR)

274 Also, a ceasefire between us and whoever the hell is 'running' Iran doesn't effect third parties. So the Israelis can go on hitting Iran if they want to (and Iran can fire their usual random missiles). In theory as long as our bases and the Strait are not targeted, the ceasefire is technically in place.

Posted by: the lower depths at April 07, 2026 08:57 PM (PrKv7)

275 If the straits are opened this is a win for everyone but the neck beards.

This is just factually untrue.

The only reason Iran attacked ships in the strait was to bring pressure on Trump to stop the bombing. This approach has apparently been successful.

Posted by: ace at April 07, 2026 08:13 PM (1wjle)

This plus a whole lot more. We need beaucoup drones. I don't know if the pentagon failed to send military observers to the Russia-Ukraine war but we used to do that kind of thing to learn about technology, strategy and tactics in foreign wars. Iran taught Russia about drones and supplied the technology. Russia combined it with EW which they have traditionally been strong in.

Israel needs to be resupplied with missile interceptors. So do the Gulf allies. So do we. We way underestimated Iranian capabilities with drones and missiles.

Pakistan says Iran claims to still have 15,000 missiles and 45,000 drones. An exaggeration, surely, but they still have a lot. We simply don't have the MOPs to take out all 27 underground "missile cities" each has multiple entrances.

And a coalition to effect regime change. Deride GHW Bush all you want, he knew how to build a coalition. Bush jr was not bad either.

The Hezbollah issue has be resolved, and completely (meaning Hezb is destroyed), this time. Israel will not accept living under near-constant attack, or having Iran's (dulled and degraded) dagger at their neck any longer.

Extremely unlikely any "deal" will be reached with the US, notwithstanding today's drama, but zero chance any "deal" will occur where Hezbollah gets rescued.

Has Iran's position improved or weakened since before the war?

Has the US's position improved or weakened? Did the US achieve any of its primary aims?

Wars are rarely complete and total victories. Even at this point for Iran the best might that be said for them was that they weren't annihilated.

Would we feel like winners if we got most of our stuff and leadership blown up and the enemy walked away because they decided a land invasion wasn't worth it?

333 Reality check. How long does it take to ship missiles from China to Iran? You can look this up. (I recall a really cool wall chart with major shipping routes and transit times. I tried to take it home, but it wouldn't fit in my suitcase.)

Two weeks is not enough time to bring in much of anything unless you are doing major airlift stuff, which no one but the US can do.

What this does do is lower the temperature and let the US refresh its forces. Our guys have been working hard. ISR will map out what Iran is doing, so we can learn about new targeting opportunities.

And of course Iran can break the ceasefire. It's expected, and then all the "illegal war of aggression" people will have to come up with another excuse.

The diplomatic breakthrough, involving Vance, Trump Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, and Iran's Foreign Minister, represents a stunning victory for the Trump-Vance administration's America First foreign policy approach. Where the Biden regime failed spectacularly for four years, President Trump's team delivered results in just weeks"

The bidding is anticipatory(though some of it relates to physical delivery on contracts and expiration dates) and causes production and consumption to expand or contract faster than an environment where stockpiles deplete to zero first.

In practice it's smoothing and brings price adjustments forward as well as spreading them making things less extreme.

Cool. Not our victory condition, though.

See, it's possible for asymmetrical victory conditions. We just wan Iran neutered for a few years. Maybe President Vance can deliver the final blow. Or President Rubio, but the important part is to wreck Iran for the next few years.

And that has been achieved. So, by definition, a win.

If you define victory by your enemy's conditions, they can keep changing them, and then you always lose. We don't do that anymore.

I'm going to look forward to Dems screaming that we need to keep fighting because we lost, and then when Trump orders the bombers to crank back up, they scream war crimes again.

It's what Trump has been demanding including his Tweet Heard Round Social Media. Open the Strait.

He's already said our military objectives have been met. Taking out their power plants and bridges was the threat to open the Strait. If the Strait is open at the time the deal states then the deal is off.

I've said it before I don't think Trump enjoys doing anymore destruction than he has to to achieve his goals. But I do believe he will level the place if the Iranians choose death.

- that the ceasefire has been broken (although we don't know if it ever actually started)
- it happened because Trump wanted to do x, or y, or z.

Israel can fire back at the turbans, and the cease fire is only with us? Israel and the others can bomb them some more? Which is fine with me as I figure eventually the barbarians will run out of missiles from chy na and Russia.

Isn't it bad enough that I found out koalas have chlamydia this week? And what that's done to what is left of my brain? Now this! Who let homos do this to innocent koalas?

I am confused about the cease fire and the stupid news says nothing. Therefore I rely on you...which I know is a sad state to admit.

You can't do what Trump just did to the Iranian regime and just leave them alone, with the surviving younger, more brutal and more radical cohorts like Vahidi and Ghalibaf in charge and plotting revenge on the US and Israel.

Terrorism against us and our allies is guaranteed in that case.

Trump choosing the course of action he did meant the regime has to go whether he realized it or not and the uranium needs to taken and the ballistic technology removed.

Yes, two opposing sides in a conflict don't necessarily have directly opposing goals. Which is what I was trying to explain to other posters upthread.

The problem with the approach you're suggesting is it's what Israel has been doing with the terrorist groups aimed at it, at least until very recently, which results in always having to come back and kick over the anthill again in a few years' time. It doesn't actually solve the problem, and gives people an excuse to think of it as a long term 'cycle of violence.'

I'd rather solve the problem once and for all and then move on to other problems.

I am not surprised. This war has been poorly covered and the weaknesses of social media along with the slop from main stream media means no one is really certain about anything.

Easier to just follow what Trump and Rubio say and not worry about the small stuff right now. It will keep until we find out. Worrying about it simply won't matter one way or another.

Current margin in 15 pts and possible it will go up. MTG running in 2024 against Harris won by 29 percent in 2024. Harris overperformed in a GOP district.

Current count of the House now is going to be 218 GOP--1 independent who caucuses with GOP (219), 214 Dem--two vacancies--one Dem, one GOP. The election to fill Sherrill's seat is in two weeks and the one to fill Doug Amalfa-GOP-CA is in August I think.

You can say many things about Trump but he is not a Bush in temperament.

FWIW, The Bush Sr decision was in part because he had a disparate international coalition opposed to toppling Saddam and the Saudis nor Kuwaitis did not want a Shia majority to rule in Iraq for obvious reason.

Trump has much less of a coalition problem by simply not inviting them to the dance.

This was apparently wishcasting, or bad intel.

I know. I know. They're unarmed and disorganized. Blah blah. If there were any widespread desire for a rising, we'd have seen *something* by now, even if it were feeble.

My suspicion is this: there are a lot of Iranians who'd like to see the regime gone, they are educated people, and the ones we see online all the time... but it's a far, far smaller proportion than the diaspora Iranians believe, or at least would have us believe, and they know if they make a move, their own countrymen will help the regime destroy them.

Just my suspicion. But I think we've been very misled about popular sentiment there. And I think that "we" includes Trump and Hegseth.

China probably isn't too happy about Iran being at war with us and getting the shit kicked out of them. Their economy is already taking it in the neck, largely thanks to sanctions.

Yes.

By contrast, in 1989, the people of Romania were unarmed and disorganized and the regime at least appeared much stronger from the outside than Iran does right now, and there was no foreign intervention to lend the assist.

Romanians flooded the cities with angry mobs from Timisoara to Bucharest from a much more disadvantaged position. Because there was a popular desire everywhere to be rid of Ceauses u.

@decorativeartt

One moment of perfect clarity can be devastating.

Orla Minihane has just exposed a number that should end any pretence:

Seventy-nine.

Seventy-nine Labour MPs and councillors with convictions or formal findings for rape, sexual assault, grooming, child sexual exploitation, possession and distribution of child pornography, and other vile sexual misconduct.

Not a handful of bad apples.
Not unfortunate mistakes.

This is a pattern.
This is a culture.

While Labour lectures the nation about protecting women and girls, they have quietly built one of the most predator-friendly environments in British politics.

The question is no longer how these men kept slipping in.

The question is why Labour feels like home to them.

A rotten ecosystem, thriving in plain sight.

Britain First. No Surrender.

@Mark_Penn

War crimes?

Senator Merkley from Oregon said that taking out mixed use infrastructure like bridges and power plants would be war crimes and suggested as well that soldiers in the US Army need not follow orders such as that.

The Iranians have sent hundreds of missiles targeted at civilian centers in Tel Aviv and throughout Israel as well as towards hotels, plants and airports of UAE and other countries. The civilians are not collateral damage -- they are the primary target of hundreds and missiles and drones. And they massacred tens of thousands of their own people -- just machine gunned them down. By rulers who have no legitimacy whatsoever.

So where is his outrage at the real war crimes? Where is the urgency at stopping Iran from these illegal attacks and mass executions? Where are his threats of action to right these wrongs? We know where they are -- no where because he is too busy attacking his own country.

Jim Acosta says that now that his every deranged claim about Trump is proven true (cite?), he feels that maybe he "wasn't opiniated enough" when he had a real job in the real media.

No president should mock Islam, because they'll murder civilians if he does.

Nigeria Christians experienced another bloody Easter.

The country experienced three separate attacks on Christians on Sunday as Christians celebrated Jesus's resurrection.

The Nigerian military announced it has rescued 31 civilians kidnapped on Sunday morning during an attack on a church:

The attack occurred on Sunday morning in Ariko village, located in the Kachia area of Kaduna state.

Gunmen opened fire on congregants celebrating the religious holiday, leaving five people dead at the scene.

However, Caleb Maaji, chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria for Kaduna state, reported a higher toll, stating that two churches in the village were targeted and seven worshippers lost their lives.

"Findings are still ongoing," Mr Maaji told Reuters, noting that the precise number of those initially seized remained unclear.

"Regrettably, the remains of five victims already killed by the terrorists were also recovered at the scene," the army stated, as reported by The Washington Post. "The fleeing terrorists are believed to have sustained significant casualties, as evidenced by blood trails along their escape routes."

The residents said the terrorists operated "in the area for an extended period before encountering any resistance from security forces."

In another attack, the Mbalom community's residents told officials that terrorists slaughtered 17 people.

Remember, Tuq'r Qarlson says the Trump tried to "eradicate" Christianity by mounting a desperate now-or-never rescue operation to save a downed pilot on Easter Sunday.

Update: I listened to this Islamist asshole -- his objection was that Trump tweeted "open the fucking Strait" on Easter, which Tuq'r says in an assault on Jesus and an attempt to destroy Christianity. He was also offended that Trump would bully Iran into not attempting to sink trading ships as they peacefully sailed through the strait.

It's all the most despicable Communist inversion of reality. Iran attacking shipping is just their right, Trump's demand that they stop is a gross assault that Tuq'r cannot abide.

And meanwhile Tuq'r has said nothing about this demonic Muslim attack on a church on Easter. Trump using the f-word on Easter is an attack on Christianity, but his Islamist allies' literally massacring Christians at an Easter service is not an attack on Christianity.


Because he's a scumbag woke Islamist propagandist.

Sure, community note. Can you point to an example the book provided showing liberals as authoritarians and asking students to write whether they agree or not?

By the way: Just to prove how non-authoritarian leftwing Democrats are, let me link this AWFUL running as Democrat for Georgia State House who says that all Trump voters should lose access to the internet for four years, so that, I guess, we are forced to rely on CNN and NPR and the NYT for "the truth."

71 "Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE! The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East. We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated. On behalf of the United States of America, as President, and also representing the Countries of the Middle East, it is an Honor to have this Longterm problem close to resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Last reported Iranian counter-offers were ludicrous demands of the sort a winning side would impose. Possibly the tune has changed, but if so musta been a doozy of a change.

Penn's remarks on the absurd senatorial vomitus are weak, but absolutely the norm any more. He changes the subject. The claim that attacks on duel-use infrastructure is a "war crime" is absolutely illiterate and incorrect. Penn should start by laying that out. But I doubt he understand the subject either. It's rare to find any well-reasoned refutation of the childish garbage that now is almost all that one hears from "critics" and ankle-biters.

88 The Hill: Ocasio-Cortez tells military chain of command to refuse ‘illegal orders’ in Iran. “This is a threat of genocide and merits removal from office,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote Tuesday in a post on the social platform X. “The President’s mental faculties are collapsing and cannot be trusted.”

“To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat,” the lawmaker continued.

This is the energy we need, even if it feels routine. Everyone constantly rushes to comment stuff like "doesn't matter, the baddies will do what they want," which just gives the baddies permission to do what they want. All we need to do is speak out, every time, and never stop, because the fascists aren't stopping.

Trump purged the DoD of anybody that would resist an order. Remember all those important Generals getting fired or just quitting? We actually needed those. Those are the types to stop 'illegal orders'.

Remember recent reports that military leaders were giddy with excitement about being "instrumental in bringing the 2nd coming of jesus and the rapture"  Those types are not refusing anything.

The last forty years - back to the 80s - have been all about us lying about the group actions of groups. Pretending that groups don't act like groups. That stereotypes have no truth whatsoever, when discussing groups.

So here's another one. Its hard enough giving a man authority over another man. Sketchy at best. Because, especially now, most men don't get authority by leadership. Its a system that rewards the worst. The ones that seek authority.

Now apply that to a woman. There may be a woman now and then that can wield authority well over a man. But other than Thatcher ? Never seen it for myself.

136 And meanwhile Tuq'r has said nothing about this demonic Muslim attack on a church on Easter. Trump using the f-word on Easter is an attack on Christianity, but his Islamist allies' literally massacring Christians at an Easter service is not an attack on Christianity.


Because he's a scumbag woke Islamist propagandist.

When they are gone someone will have to go and and clear out whatever vermin takes up residence. Russia? Naw, China and Russia are going to keep each other occupied. Former Eastern Block? I agree they have become more important as of late but see they have some electorial problems themselves. Whatever is killing England will kill us and should be rooted out.

Now if the left takes back control then none of that matters because we're all up shitcreek. So, first get very lucky and smack back the left here, yes a gandalfian fool's hope, and then assist any any like-minded Brits in taking their country back. Somehow.

Documents have been declassified EXACTLY about this. Thank Jimmy Carter. Jimmy was a "humanitarian" ... at least in his own mind. He thought the Shah was too heavy handed.

So while the Shah came to the US for surgery, Carter's CIA completed a months long campaign and the Ayatollah took charge. The documents exist. Our Government was in direct contact with the Muslims.

8pm EST is 0430am in Iran.

I hope Christians are hiding or smuggled out of the areas that are going to be bombed.

I hope the barbarians of eeslam are going to vaporize into pink mist and have virgins of goats with chlamydia in hell (well and stuff that burns even worse than herpes).

I read that koalas have chlamydia that did all sorts of stuff in my brain thinking about this, which is why I mentioned it.

300 What is the state of the SPR after Joey Bidet's many drawdowns?
Posted by: Anna Puma at April 07, 2026 07:30 PM (2GVsD)


The current inventory is displayed on the SPR's website.[3] As of March 7, 2025, the inventory was 395.3 million barrels (62,850,000 m3). This equates to about 19 days of oil at 2023 daily U.S. consumption levels of 20.275 million barrels per day (3,223,500 m3/d)[4] or 47 days of oil at 2024 daily U.S. import levels of 8.420 million barrels per day (1,338,700 m3/d).[5] However, the maximum total withdrawal capability from the SPR is only 4.4 million barrels per day (700,000 m3/d), so it would take about 90 days to use the entire inventory. At recent market prices ($66 a barrel as of March 2025),[6] the SPR holds over $9.5 billion in sweet crude and approximately $12.9 billion in sour crude (assuming a $15/barrel discount for sulfur content).

On a related note, M2 grew at an 11% (annualized) rate in February. That's before the Iran war.

313 One factor that’s hard to evaluate is that the Iranian economy has completely collapsed; this war has allowed the government to use martial law to forbid anyone talking about it. But the Iranian currency is now worthless, and last time it was measured inflation in Iran was running at about 200% annually. After all the eliminations, there’s really not a lot of civil government left.

Their entire policy system is based around keeping their social services going, no matter what it costs them.

How that felt like it would work, I have no idea.

Gavin Newsom Directs $19 Million in California Taxpayer Money to Madison Avenue to Improve California's Reputation -- Just as Gavin Newsom Is Running for President and Personally Needs California's Image to be Remade

Wow, a Democrat taking taxpayer money for his own personal benefit.

I gotta tell you guys, I did not see this one coming. It just snuck up on me.

Gov. Gavin Newsom is hoping to to boost California's tarnished image on the national stage -- so he's throwing millions in taxpayer money at a high-powered New York public relations firm to do it for him.

The governor's Office of Business and Economic Development awarded PR powerhouse Edelman a contract worth up to $19 million to burnish the Golden State's reputation, KCRA reported.

Edelman -- which also does work on behalf of mega-companies like Dove, Starbucks, eBay and Heineken -- will be tasked with combating "negative narratives amplified online and in partisan media" about California while promoting the state's economy and tourism.

...

The contract begins on April 6 and will run through then end of the year, which nearly coincides with end of the governor's term in early 2027.

Oh you mean January 2027, as the official primary season begins in earnest. How convenient.

The state agency previously told the outlet that the campaign wouldn't be about Newsom himself, but California.

"The campaign will tell the California story, not the Gavin Newsom story," the agency said. "The effort is about California's success, not about politics."

Uh-huh. You're just rebutting "partisan narratives" but not for any partisan purpose. Sure.



A Newsom spokesperson previously told the Los Angeles Times that California's business climatehas been "falsely and maliciously maligned for years," and that the "state has a right to tell the true story."

Weird that he didn't want to tell this "true story" in years when he wasn't running for president. People and businesses have been fleeing California for six years, you know.

...

News of the contract drew ample criticism.

"Gavin Newsom is giving 19 million California taxpayer dollars to a New York PR firm to promote California in a better light to the nation. Which does not at all sound like Gavin Newsom is making a presidential campaign ad for himself," Kevin Dalton, who ran for the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, wrote on X.


"Californians aren't being asked, they're being billed," added Republican congressional candidate Christine Bish.

Speaking of California politicians raiding the public fisc for their own benefit and to pay off their donors: Gavin Newsom's Obama-Biden boondoggle to spend tens of billions of dollars on a "high speed train" from LA to San Francisco -- when that route is well-serviced by planes and, well, a nice car ride if you have half a day to spare -- that even 60 Minutes noticed.

Gavin Newsom isn't even the biggest bimbo in this post.

Gavin Newsom's grifter woke wife is a real See You Next Cunt.


Jennifer Siebel Newsom is the very avatar of Democrat Woman.

Haughty, hectoring and pleased with herself, she is single-handedly wrecking her henpecked husband Gavin's lofty political ambitions.

No wonder he's taken to moping around and crying at press conferences.

As the California governor's presidential aspirations head south and his state's woes become impossible to ignore, he's tried in vain to reset his ailing brand -- and now his 51-year-old actress-turned-activist wife is taking over.

Over the weekend, she inserted herself into the news again with an Instagram video pontificating that the departure of Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem from President Trump's cabinet is proof that the commander-in-chief is waging a "war on all women."

"I need to call out that it's no surprise to me that the first two prominent people pushed out of this administration were women," she opined in a mint green jacket, with her long, blond tresses cascading fetchingly over one shoulder.

As she enunciated every bad word she could think of for Trump's "sexism and misogyny," she bizarrely smiled: "Devalued" -- smile. "Degraded" -- smile. "Diminished" -- smile.

"No woman is safe in Trump's Republican Party." Smile, smile, smile.

The title she posted on the screen was: "Some thoughts on the patriarchy."

Mrs. Newsom has "thoughts" -- and boy, does she want you to hear them.

Her assertiveness was on full display a few weeks ago when she elbowed her husband away from the podium and took over his press conference to scold the assembled reporters for not being sufficiently admiring of some abortion funding announcement the governor had just made.

"We just find it incredulous that we have Planned Parenthood here, and women are 51% of the population," she said. "And the majority of the questions -- all of these questions -- have really been about other issues. So, it's just fascinating."

She was greeted by "incredulous" silence.

Not only had she publicly emasculated the governor with the sort of first-spouse effrontery we haven't seen since Hillary Clinton entered the White House, but she showed herself to be incapable of using basic English.

Maybe she thinks "incredulous" is an intellectual version of "incredible."

She's just an absolute deranged woke warrior. She just made news by declaring, proudly, she's taking all the steps necessary to trans her sons.

@JnglJourney

Jennifer Siebel Newsom, wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom, said she actively works to challenge gender norms with her sons, telling an interviewer:

"I've given our boys dolls... if I'm reading a book and the protagonist is a male, I just change the he to a she."


This link to Jesse Kelly contains a montage of her many ultrawoke preachings.

This one's incredible: Apparently she killed her own sister by running her over with... a golf cart. Nepo baby bitch.

But she tells prisoners that she understands their plight because she, too, killed someone "by accident" and she's very sure that's what all the people in prison did too.

Libs keep asking Grok if these videos are real and recent. Grok keeps telling them they are.

Don't forget, she's also stealing taxpayer money, diverted to her by her husband and his cronies, to push DEI and transgenderism to California schoolchildren.

36 I don't have any sisters, only brothers. So I could be wrong about this.

I question her running over her older sister in a golf cart as an accident. Oopsie!

I mean, I catapulted my younger brother up five stairs into a door at the landing with a loud thud after a battle over the remote control. By using both hands on his behind. I did this on purpose and got into more trouble (it was worth it). This crime was pretty hard to deny and I've never been a liar. However, this didn't kill him and he fake cried to get me into more trouble.

If I were Candace Owens I would open an investigation about this golf cart "mistake."

I also feel sure NYC is worried about his PR when people are crapping and having sex on their sidewalks under Mayor Mondingo.Which should encourage tourism.

117 If I remember, and I probably don't, didn't Laura Bush get some bad press for a DUI and manslaughter?

This woman should get the same press but she won't. Because killing your older sister with a golf cart is no big deal with liberals.

She wasn't three years old, she was six. I was smarter than that at six and would know not to hijack a golf cart to go anywhere, much less back over my sister.

I had enough sense at 6yrs old to walk home from elementary school and cross streets, one busy. Granted only once alone for being kept after school and I was pretty freaked out, but I did it.

To compare this "accident" to heaven knows the crimes of men she was talking to is absurd.

She might as well have said she popped a zit and it was as tramatizing as a gunshot and sucking chest wound.

Gavin Newsom's in-laws fled from California to Florida during the pandemic, records show. Fox News Digital previously learned the Siebel family trust made a donation to a Ron DeSantis PAC

EXCLUSIVE: Not only did the in-laws of Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom give money to one of his biggest political foes; they fled from his state during the pandemic.

Kenneth F. Siebel Jr. and Judith A. Siebel, parents of Newsom's wife Jennifer Siebel and longtime California residents, became Florida residents in 2020 after purchasing a $3.3 million Naples home in March of that year, records show. The Siebels appear to still have ownership of their California home in northern San Francisco suburb of Ross.

Newsom's in-laws, however, officially became registered voters in the Sunshine State as of June 2020. Kenneth Siebel is a registered Republican while Judith Siebel has no party affiliation.

195 Key takeaway that Calif No Speed Rail was never a serious construction project?

Even 26 years in, they still do not have a real route laid out. Rail stations in Cities STILL have no plan in many places.

I know.... I live near Merced CA... where at least one of the many plans say the line will now end... and we can't even do major highway expansions (like the rest of 99 Highway) because no one knows where the rail will run.

US Declaration of Independence...

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government,

Note the last line... Right AND DUTY...

Agreed.
The U.S. has never been particularly good at occupation, especially in the modern era after Japan and Germany.

If the Iranians do it themselves with a little help and support from us it stands a good chance of sticking as opposed to something forced from the outside.

It's now or never for the Iranian people so I hope they have it in them, after all these decades, to go after the tyrants ruling over them.

210 Kenneth F. Siebel Jr. and Judith A. Siebel, parents of Newsom's wife Jennifer Siebel and longtime California residents, became Florida residents in 2020 after purchasing a $3.3 million Naples home in March of that year, records show. The Siebels appear to still have ownership of their California home in northern San Francisco suburb of Ross.

Newsom's in-laws, however, officially became registered voters in the Sunshine State as of June 2020. Kenneth Siebel is a registered Republican while Judith Siebel has no party affiliation.

212 "People and businesses have been fleeing Cacafornia".

Yeah, including us. We bought a delightful house in the suburbs of Sacramento in 1984. Great place. Nice state, nice city, nice people - until about 2015 or so, when the business climate got worse, and the politics got worse, and the conditions of the roads got LOTS worse. Finally, in 2019, my wife was watching something on TV and Navin Gruesome said that he was going to send sheriff's deputies door to door to collect all the guns. She turned to me and said "We need to get out of California!".

This, from a woman who had spent her ENTIRE LIFE in CA, other than 3 years in the Philippines when I was in the Navy. It was a good time to go; I was over 69, and our house was paid off, so I retired from my job, we put our house on the market, she started researching places in Texas.

Then Covid happened, so we hunkered down as we did internet research. She found a delightful house on the distant outskirts of San Antonio, bought it sight-unseen (you can do AMAZING THINGS with Google Maps, Zillow, and a great local realtor) packed up the guns and cats and essentials into a 27ft RV, and drove 6 days to Texas. And here we are!

It was defunded, and it's getting along fine because most of its money comes from donations and other private sources. The point is, it NEVER needed taxpayer money. (But it's Brownshirt Nazi Hitler Tyrant King Dictator censorship to defund it just the same.)

The usual story of his white bathrobe of hotel horror. She went to the hotel room, "thinking others would be there." Right. Sure.

As he masterbated pete she pretended to orgasm. Sure.

I would have found a knife or other weapon and there would be blood all over his hotel robe, the walls, the balcony. And he'd forevermore pee like a girl.

Then she dated Clooney, who we know is a faggot. I guess a ritual of being a beard. He and Julia Robert's ugly husband are rumored to be more than friends.

291 The Democrat Party apparatus is completely, 1000% captured by the rabid Left. No candidate is different from any other. Their voters will pretend to believe any candidate they're given will be great - no matter what.

2028 will completely come down to turnout by GOP voters. That's it, that's all she wrote, and the Party's choice of candidate affects literally nothing.

Nobody should waste any time on which candidate is more beatable, because the answer is nobody. They shouldn't waste any thinking about which would be the worst threat as President, because the answer is all of them.

And whoever the GOP candidate is shouldn't bother running against them or their records, because none of their voters give a rat's ass about the fact that they're all malevolent retards and perverts, and absolutely no revelation will suppress their turnout.

All they should worry about is jacking up their own base and their own moderates with a positive message, because their voters actually do care about that stuff. Forget the Democrats.

Perfectly typical. The support of abortion, for women, is the idea that their daughters want to screw but not carry the baby alone.

Then, passing that ? The idea that the cunt whore next door not saddle their son with an unwanted welp. Or - passing that ? That the cunt whore next door doesn't saddle society with the welp.

Women are not maternal when it comes to welps outside the circle. Not in the least.

Sons and Nieces of High-Ranking Islamic Occupation Army of Iran Officials Have Been Living High on the Hog In the US -- But Are Now Getting Their Satanic Asses Deported Back to Their Homeland Hellhole

The son of Iran's chief of propaganda lives in, get this, California, and makes his living, get this, teaching schoolchildren.

The son of a notorious Iranian regime leader is enjoying an affluent lifestyle in Los Angeles, the California Post can reveal.

Campaigners are calling for Eissa Hashemi, 43, to be investigated and deported for defiantly refusing to denounce his mother's sickening past.

On Monday, he appeared unfazed by the controversy and defiantly brushed off a reporter's questions, declining to speak after a workout at his fancy gym.

The college psychology lecturer is the son of Masoumeh Ebtekar, known as "Screaming Mary," who acted as spokesperson for violent militants who stormed the US Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days.

She was infamous worldwide for firing off twisted propaganda during the crisis, even encouraging captives to describe the punishing ordeal in glowing terms.

Ebtekar was later promoted to Vice President for Women and Family Affairs by regime leaders -- becoming the country's first female VP and one of the highest-ranking women in the Muslim world today.

In January, protestors gathered at the $20,000 a year Chicago School in in Claremont, east LA, and other teaching institutions in the area with links to Hashemi, for rallies calling for him to be deported.

Organizers of Change.org petitions want Hashemi to be kicked out of the country.

One wrote: "While the mother has no regret of occupying the US embassy in Tehran, many Iranians have been affected by this action while her own son has taken advantage of living in the US.

"We want Issa Hashemi and his wife, Maryam Tahmasebi to be fired from the US as soon as possible."

A poster on Instagram said: "Mr. Hashemi has never publicly distanced himself from his mother's actions or legacy."

...


Another said: "47 years ago, Masoumeh Ebtekar took U.S. diplomats hostage for 444 days and threatened to kill them.

"Today, her son, Isa [sic] Hashemi works for Chicago School of Professional Psychology and lives freely in Los Angeles."

And one more added: "His father was also one of the core group of leaders of the Muslim Students Followers of the Imam's Line and several of the former hostages, including my father, positively identified him as being present during their torture and interrogation.

"His mother was perhaps even crueler than some of the other captors. This guy has no business being in this country. I've been dogging him since 2015."

Okay, he's not being deported. Yet.

But the pampered niece and grand-niece of Iran's top terror commander and Austere Religious Scholar Qasem Soleimani -- assassinated by airstrike by Trump in his first term -- were just arrested by ICE and scheduled for deportation.


The niece of slain Iranian terror mastermind Gen. Qasem Soleimani -- who showcased her luxe LA lifestyle on Instagram while bashing the US as the "Great Satan" -- and her daughter have been arrested by ICE agents, the State Department announced Saturday.

Hamideh Soleimani Afshar, who allegedly celebrated attacks on US soldiers and military bases, and her daughter Sarinasadat Hosseiny, have had their green cards revoked over their ties to the Iranian regime.

"While living in the United States, she promoted Iranian regime propaganda, celebrated attacks against American soldiers and military facilities in the Middle East, praised the new Iranian Supreme Leader, denounced America as the 'Great Satan,' and voiced her unflinching support for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, a designated terror organization," according to a State Department letter confirming the Friday arrests.


Afshar, 47, entered the US in 2015 on a tourist visa, was granted asylum in 2019 and secured a green card in 2021 from the Biden administration.


She made at least four trips back to Iran since receiving her green card, the Department of Homeland Security said.

Hosseniy, 25, also entered the US in 2015 on a student visa. She became a green card holder in 2023.

Her online persona was at odds with the Shia Islam her mother espoused.


Photos on her since-deleted social media reveal the bikini-clad babe showing off stomach tattoos and lounging on a jetski in barely-there swimsuit.

Other Instagram posts show Hosseiny clubbing in Miami, vacationing in Alaska, and partying down in Las Vegas.

"It is a privilege to be granted a green card to live in the United States of America. If we have reason to believe a green card holder poses a threat to the US, the green card will be revoked," Lauren Bis, a DHS spokesperson, told The Post.

The State Department also referenced Afshar's extravagant life in Los Angeles, which she allegedly frequently documented on her Instagram account, which has also apparently been deleted.

SkankWatch? I have a Skank to report.

I love the natural look.

While Soleimani's grand-niece flaunts herself like a common whore, Iran continues hanging protesters.

Iran on Monday hanged a man convicted in connection with nationwide protests in January. Early morning executions have become near-daily events under the cover of the war against Israel and the United States.

Most of those executed are young men, including teens, alleged to have been either involved in the protests that were brutally suppressed by the regime -- with thousands shot dead in the streets -- or members of banned opposition groups.

Undeterred by the war, the Islamic Republic continues to exact its revenge, and exiled opposition groups and rights organizations said they feared that hundreds more could be executed in the coming days.

Ali Fahim, 23, was hanged Monday after being found guilty of involvement in an attack on a Tehran base of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' Basij militia during the protests, according to rights groups who have followed the case.

The judiciary's Mizan Online website described him as "one of the enemy elements in the terrorist riots," and said he was hanged after the supreme court approved the original verdict.

It sounds like they accused him of messaging the checkpoint's location to Israel or the US.

I think Trump wants a deal. He didn't want the operation to go past 4-5 weeks and we're coming to the end of that. I don't think the regime is going to be driven out without ground forces and the civvies just don't have the arms to do it.

57 Sidebar Ace:
This is super-obscure and I only barely remember it.

He's talking about Sammy Hagar's "I'll Fall in Love Again", from his Standing Hampton album.

Evidence that the song is NOT obscure:
1. The album generated 5 charting singles, of which that song is one.
2. The song was on the soundtrack of Vision Quest.
3. And the slam-dunk final bit of proof: the song is currently on my personal playlist.

One thing I would rate as obscure though, is how the album got its name:
It was a British fan who told him of the term that came to be the title. In Cockney rhyming slang, a "Hampton" is a substitution for penis (Hampton Wick rhymes with "Dick"). One that is "standing" would be a reference to an erection.

Do guys LOOK at the drawn on eyebrows when they mate today? I reckon that is not important if the lights are off. Whoa.

We used to have magnetic toys called Wooly Willie, where you could apply fake hair and eyebrows with a little fake pen.

I think I'd come closer to gluing on hair for eyebrows vs the tatoo deal or sharpie. Cutting off my own hair and super glue on what was left of my eyebrows. What on earth? This goes far beyond the "I woke up this way."

We have been destroying the IRGC Forces for 4 weeks.

There are plenty of Weapons on the ground, already.

You would also have to assume that Israel has not been smuggling in arms for over a decade.

I thought that was odd to reveal.
So it might be more misdirection from Trump.

Could be the Kurds did take weapons, but it doesn’t mean we didn’t try again to send more.

Could be, also, that Trump is just screwing with what’s left of the Iranian leadership’s heads.

The Immortals were an elite military unit of the Achaemenid Empire, consisting of 10,000 heavy infantry who served as both the emperor's personal guard and a key part of the standing army. Their name comes from the practice of immediately replacing any member who was killed or incapacitated, maintaining their number and giving the impression of being invincible.

282 The Immortals were an elite military unit of the Achaemenid Empire, consisting of 10,000 heavy infantry who served as both the emperor's personal guard and a key part of the standing army. Their name comes from the practice of immediately replacing any member who was killed or incapacitated, maintaining their number and giving the impression of being invincible.

336 Counterpoint: Romania was by no means in as dire a situation as Iran in '89, and the masses of the country lashed out and toppled the regime armed only with rage. The Army simply defected en masse and turned on Securitate and Ceausescu once they read the room.

I have no idea if that's possible with Iran, but we can't know because they haven't tried.

I think they believe (with good reason) that the regime only needs to hold out for a few weeks to break the weak-to-nonexistent will of the American people, and then Trump will cut a deal to end this, so nobody wants to climb out on any limb. As such, they will squander their best opportunity to take back their country.

If they don't want it, then fine. That's on them. We've crippled Iran, it will take years for them to approach anything like status quo ante, build back a nuclear program, wage war in the Middle East, and so on. We can always come back and repeat this as needed.

I hope this is the last prompt they get. Do it or don't, people. But the fence-sitting is NOT helping your cause.

340 The rumor/meme/propaganda I've seen today was "Trump is looking to back away from the Iran war".

But I think that comes from those that thought the war was a huge mistake, and that Iran is another Iraq.

A different opinion is that "boots on the ground" are not so essential to win the war, because today we have so much more tech, and can in real time observe their movements and bomb them hours or maybe minutes later. We also have perhaps 70% of the population on "our side".

And if we are really cratering their deep tunnels and caves, and bombing them when they try to repair, perhaps we don't need boots on the ground. It would be nice to kill the IRGC that are still murdering the 70% resistance. Not sure of the best way to accomplish that. Maybe their non IRGC army would be less murderous. Seems we are only killing the IRGC higher ups, not the "other army".

Chinese Spy Humper and Treasonous Russia Hoaxer Eric Swalwell Accused of Sexual Harassment and Misusing Funds

Wow, a Democrat who uses his office to enrich himself and predate* upon underlings.

I shan't believe it. I simply shannot.

But believe all women amitire

MD Kittle at The Federalist:

The office of Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., offers internships "for college students to gain valuable work experience ... [and] absorb the many functions of a Congressional office." If the growing harassment allegations against the leftist lawmaker and leading Democrat candidate for California governor are true, Congress may want to put the kibosh on Swalwell's tutelage program for young women.

It seems the accomplice media has been too busy falling all over themselves in their absurd attempt to make Swalwell a martyr of President Donald Trump's "weaponization of law enforcement" to pay much attention to the women coming forward accusing the swamp rat of inappropriate sexual conduct.

Swalwell's flacks are furiously trying to explain away why the smarmy Democrat's campaign spent north of $300,000 on "private attorneys who specialize in white-collar criminal defense and employment law." They told KCRA 3 in Sacramento the payments were for legal guidance to fend off Trump's "retaliatory investigations" into Swalwell that have "put his family and staff at risk." After all, If you can't trust a morally corrupt congressman who fervently peddled the Russia collusion hoax, who can you trust?

'Pattern of Manipulation and Abuse of Power'

Cheyenne Hunt, a Democrat who in 2024 ran unsuccessfully for California's 45th Congressional District seat, posted on her social media sites that she has been "working with a number of women who are in the process of coming forward and sharing their stories of sexual harassment and even alleged abuse at the hands of Eric Swalwell." Hunt, who serves as executive director of the liberal organization Gen-Z for Change, claims a "major news outlet" is preparing to publish a story on the allegations.

"So let me be as clear and transparent about that as I safely can be," she said in a video posted to her Facebook page. "I am personally working with a group of women who want to come forward and share their stories. I am also aware of a much larger group that is also in this process that I am not personally working with."

Hunt says the group has pro bono legal representation to protect the victims' "legal and physical safety" as they share their experiences about Swalwell, adding that a number of women have come forward since a previous post last month. In that post she accused Swalwell of having a "predatory history toward women."

Meanwhile, Trump appears to have made a major mistake in California. He endorsed Republican Steve Hilton for governor. The problem is that this is a jungle primary and there was no need to endorse either Republican yet -- both can win the jungle primary and then face each other mano a mano -- no Democrat candidate! -- in the general. But this means it's likely that Hilton will cannibalize a big chunk of his Republican rival's support, and easily win the jungle primary -- along with a Democrat, who will then go on to easily beat him.

This is Mark Halperin's analysis but I don't see any fault with it. The only way a Republican can win in California -- unless Californians are finally so sick of Democrats they'll go against 50 years of voting history for a change -- is to run against another Republican. This increases the odds that Hilton will lose the governor's race.



The Chinese sent Fang Fang to honeypot VDH, too.

But he said it was an obvious honeytrap and told her to try her luck with someone with less control over his bowels.

Cruel.


* Yeah I said predate and I'm sticking to it.

The problem is that this is a jungle primary and there was no need to endorse either Republican yet -- both can win the jungle primary and then face each other mano a mano -- no Democrat candidate! -- in the general. But this means it's likely that Hilton will cannibalize a big chunk of his Republican rival's support, and easily win the jungle primary -- along with a Democrat, who will then go on to easily beat him.

Eh.

I don't think endorsements, especially late endorsements, matter that much.

17 The only way a Republican can win in California -- unless Californians are finally so sick of Democrats they'll go against 50 years of voting history for a change -- is to run against another Republican.

But that will never happen - even if two Republicans win the jungle primary, a judge will find a justification for also putting a Democrat on the ballot for the general election.

It's California.

That would be complicated and embarrassing, however, so they are going after Swalwell simply to knock him out of the race, thus ensuring that a Democrat will finish in the top two.

59 The Democrats have a super majority in both the CA Assembly and Senate. That means any GOP agenda is DOA.
They can over ride any veto, push any initiatives and keep selling the state to the Teachers Union, the SEIU and the Trial Lawyers, just as they have for years.
The last GOP Governor, Arnold, tried putting 5 reform initiatives on the ballot to "blow up the boxes".
The unions funded huge ad campaigns and all 5 went down to defeat. His popularity rating went from mid-60's to mid-30's.
At which point he hired Grey Davis's old Chief of Staff to be his CoS and his whole agenda changed.

Pataki was governor of NY only 20 years ago. A Republican can win anywhere, IMO. It won't be easy, and it would take a lot of things to fall into place, but it's possible.

Posted by: The ARC of History! at April 07, 2026 03:29 PM (n1OCj)

Two Republicans were never going to make it to general, it's just wishcasting based on an early poll in a crowded primary before people have had a chance to coalesce around the frontrunners.

Your scenario would never happen as well. Dems wouldn't care about a single term GOP gov, they have a supermajority in the legislature that can override a veto anyway. Jungle primaries have been a massive benefit to Dems because they don't have to flood money into general elections in their many coastal strongholds and can instead route tens of millions into the campaigns for contested seats.

True, I'm speaking in terms of repulsiveness, Newsome and Porter crest the outer limits of repulsiveness, while SwallowsWell is similarly repulsive, I find him to be a smidgeon less repulsive than them.

169 61 Afternoon, All.

Maybe somebody has already mentioned this, but a tanker exploded under the Bridge of the Americas, which spans the Pacific side of the Panama Canal. Could've collapsed the bridge into the Canal and blocked it, but fortunately they got the fire put out before that happened.

Imagine if the Panama Canal and the Strait of Hormuz were blocked at the same time.

Not a pleasant scenario to contemplate.

I would not be surprised if it's China. They don't get anything from us and we cut off their Venezuela source, AND took the Panama Canal back from them.

I can write that off as a mistake. I can’t ignore that AIPAC Eric has an AI startup that he’s been pitching to other members of Congress while running to govern Silicon Valley. Only one candidate isn’t compromised by corporations and can tackle big tech and billionaires: Porter.

So, Swalwell was at the Bruce Springsteen show in Portland last night with a 20-ish year old woman. I assumed she was his daughter until I looked at a photo of his family today.

Sometimes everyone comes at you because you're the 'leader'. Other times, it's just because everyone hates you. I guess time will tell which one this is.

God please not swalwell for Governor. Being hated by everyone probably just means you suck, not that you are a good candidate. The idea that being hated means you are moderate and therefore good is so stupid.

I walked around a bit and one of the old guys was talking to her in Russia and pointing towards me. She came over and started talking to me. How wonderful Russia was etc. Standing close to me. THe old guy comes up from behind her with like a giant old camera with like the accordion bellows looking extension and a separate handheld flash bulb. He tries to take my picture, as he was going to do it, I stepped back so she was blocking me. He wound up taking a picture of nothing. He got mad and started yelling at her. I left.

248 Seriously. Decades ago when I was young. The USSR sent a trade delegation to Cincinnati in the 80's. Set up in the Union terminal. I was in sales so basically doing nothing. So i went. There was no one there except me and like half a dozen Russians. There was one lady, 30 ish. Not great looking but okay. Nice hooters. I walked around a bit and one of the old guys was talking to her in Russia and pointing towards me. She came over and started talking to me. How wonderful Russia was etc. Standing close to me. THe old guy comes up from behind her with like a giant old camera with like the accordion bellows looking extension and a separate handheld flash bulb. He tries to take my picture, as he was going to do it, I stepped back so she was blocking me. He wound up taking a picture of nothing. He got mad and started yelling at her. I left. I don't think it was a honey pot, but it was pretty obvious that the last thing in the world she wanted to do was to talk to me and her boss was making her. I should have stayed. It would have turned into a Woody Allen movie.

Didn't know who Chad Bianco was at the time, but then they arrested some nutcase late in the proceedings and Bianco was suddenly all over the place patting himself on the back. Think they ended up bringing no charges against the arrestee. Then I found out that he was responsible for the traffic management that night.

He appears to be pretty well funded. I think Trump has some knowledge of how things went down at that rally and figured he'd be no better than Newsome. Steve Hilton impresses me every time I hear him. Other than that self-congratulatory press conference, I've not heard Chad Bianco speak anywhere...

👉HOWEVER, The United States is not a party to the Rome Statute, the founding treaty of the International Criminal Court (ICC), and does not recognize its jurisdiction over American citizens. While the U.S. signed the treaty in 2000, it never ratified it, and the signature was later formally withdrawn, citing concerns over sovereignty, constitutional conflicts, and the potential prosecution of U.S. military personnel.

And yet, Jack Smith.

313 To mitigate the damage, Trump can also say positive things about other repub candidates, later be critical of Hilton, etc, to the point the original endorsement is watered down to being near meaningless.

Everyone knows Trump says lots of things and that can be used to undo the damage, at least somewhat.

314 --Swalwell's flacks are furiously trying to explain away why the smarmy Democrat's campaign spent north of $300,000 on "private attorneys who specialize in white-collar criminal defense and employment law."

Brilliant. Rather than pay legal fees to defend yourself, which would be post-tax cash out, just run for something, get rubes to donate to the campaign, and have the campaign pay for your defense. You spend nothing and your "campaign" is able to deduct it all.

Schmoll: In 2006, Democrats Led in Net Favorability by 18 Points. In 2018, by 12. And Now?
Republicans Lead by Five.

Video of CNN informing its audience that Democrats are not doing that well below.

7 CNN: Republicans lead in net favorability ahead of the 2026 midterms

Republicans vs Democrats net favorability

2006: 🔵 D+18
2018: 🔵 D+12
2026: 🔴 R+5

That's a SEVENTEEN point swing.

Posted by: Washington Nearsider: Gotterdammerung at April 07, 2026 01:43 PM (FmapG)

Democrats do lead on the "generic congressional ballot," but by a historically small lead: five points.



Yes, they're ahead -- but only barely. Given historical precedent and the current political environment, they should be running away with it.

But they're not.

"This lead is historically low for Democrats at this point with a Republican president," Enten said. "On average, their lead's actually slightly less. It's five points. That's less than it was back in 2018 when it was eight points and way less than it was during the 2006 cycle when it was 11 points."

Five points.

Now, I don't exactly trust the approval rating polls showing that President Donald Trump at -20 or -30, but still, with numbers like that, Democrats should be crushing the GOP in the general congressional ballot, but they're not.

"You'd make the argument, Democrats should be way ahead, and they're just only sort of slightly ahead," Enten pointed out.

In Virginia, Abigail Spannberger, a woke Deep State traitor, ran as a "moderate centrist."

This was, of course, a lie to con the rubes.

But the rubes are noticing, and her approval rate is plunging as Virginia voters realize they've been lied to.

Just two months into her term of office, Gov. Spanberger's approval polling is barely above water. Her win last year was supposed to be the victory of pragmatic moderation over the voices of the far left, but since then Virginia voters seem to have realized she's a left-wing partisan, not a moderate. Today the Washington Post has a story about this sudden turnaround.
Advertisement


Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger's approval rating stands at 47 percent two months into the Democrat's term, with 46 percent of voters disapproving and 7 percent expressing no opinion in a Washington Post-Schar School poll.

Spanberger won in a 15-point landslide last year after touting her reputation for bipartisanship built on three terms representing a conservative-leaning district in Congress. But her current ratings reflect sharp polarization among Virginia voters in their views of the state's first female governor.

The approval mark for Spanberger is 13 percentage points lower than the average for Virginia governors in Post polling since the 1990s. Her near-even split between approval and disapproval is a worse net approval rating than the early-term scores of her predecessors in previous Post polls. It is also slightly weaker than ratings of her immediate predecessor, Glenn Youngkin (R), in a Post-Schar School poll last fall, showing he ended his term with 50 percent approval and 46 percent disapproval.


So where is the "sharp polarization" coming from? It's coming from Spanberger herself who hasn't been content to focus on affordability and is instead focused on issues like making sure police don't cooperate with ICE.

The Democrats, of course, intend to lie their way into office this year. They will almost all claim to be moderate, except for the designated woke warrior bomb-throwers in safe districts who will be allowed to preach the True Democrat Religion.

It's important to really push the Spannberger story and show that she lied and therefore all the other Democrats running the Spannberger Playbook are lying as well.

Some other bits:

The NYT's portrait of a stalker:

The left is pushing the 25th Amendment for Trump again, after assuring us for four years that Biden was a highly engaged "super-ager" who ran circles around his 30-year-old staffers.

By the way, they really freaked out when Trump called a lid on Saturday and did not interact with the press for 24 hours. They were certain he was incapacitated.

In fact, he was locked in the Situation Room monitoring the rescue effort he'd ordered.

======

Your quarterly reminder that the entire 25th Amendment process is short-circuited by a letter written by the president to the Speaker of the House.

The 25th Amendment is designed for a comatose or missing president, not a crazy one.

Anyone pushing this nonsense either has no clue what they are talking about, or they are grifting.

It's probably both, to be honest.

My theory is these are the “independents” who fancy themselves as more removed and therefore more astute about politics. They are not married to either party, smarter than anyone in the room, and not beholden to anyone.

Except their own dishonest stupidly and inability to cogently digest facts or make plausible arguments.

“From the Halls of Montezuma
To the shores of Kharg Island"
We fight our country’s battles
In the air, on land, and sea;
In the air, on sea and land
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marine.

That not one election official was fired.

DeSantis fired one official in Broward county. Youngkin couldn't manage that.

Because he's an establishment cuck who just wanted to use his position to be the "popular" governor of a purple state who was only popular because he was deeply inoffensive to the opposition.

The only time he was animated in his whole tenure was when people were talking about him being Trump's VP.

141 Trump shouldn't have tried to fix a geopolitical issue that's plagued American foreign policy for decades because the midterms are now threatened. He should have been like Democrats who looked out at a nation not yearning for more immigration and decided to put a hold on any sort of open borders policy because it threatened their midterm proposal.

They chose to protect the midterms rather than advance policy they believed in and would advantage them in the future.

Trump should be more like Democrats.

144 GatewayPundit is the only news I can find on human shields. As AOP said, the most hardcore who we won't miss.

"This latest outrage comes as President Trump’s deadline for Iran to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz looms large. Trump has made it crystal clear: fail to comply by 8 p.m. Eastern, and America and its allies will unleash hell on Iran’s infrastructure, power plants, bridges, the works.

The regime knows Trump means business, unlike the weak-kneed appeasers who preceded him.

Reports flooding in confirm Iranians are already gathering en masse around key sites. Videos on social media show crowds forming human chains at power plants nationwide, with state media blasting the call as a “show of solidarity."



In their defense, those power plants are the 5,678th through 5,723rd most holiest sites in all of Islam.

That not one election official was fired.

DeSantis fired one official in Broward county. Youngkin couldn't manage that.

Because he's an establishment cuck who just wanted to use his position to be the "popular" governor of a purple state who was only popular because he was deeply inoffensive to the opposition.

The only time he was animated in his whole tenure was when people were talking about him being Trump's VP.

100%. Jennifer Siebel was sucking mountains of dick to advance her film career, before she met Gruesome. Fat Harv's dicklet was one of them.

Years later, she claimed it was nonconsensual. Sure it was. Tellingly, a jury that found Harv guilty of abusing certain other girls, actually acquitted him of the charges that he abused Siebel.

Put it this way: a jury believed Fat Harv's accusers -- except for Siebel. They didn't believe her. That tells you all you need to know about what she was really doing with Harv.

They want insane leftists and commies. They don’t understand what that means. It’s part of why Youngkin won the first time around. He didn’t call the Democrats (or didn’t just call them) insane leftists and commies. He campaigned on rolling back their specific crimes against children.

Meanwhile, most of the right, if they campaign against the Democrats at all, campaign against diversity, equity, and inclusion; against transitioning and against gender affirming health care. Against the bullshit terms that Democrats make up for racism, segregation, and child mutilation rather than against what those bullshit terms really mean.

So, he did the bare minimum and then sounded nice for the microphones and looked good for the cameras.

Youngkin was, at best, an unremarkable governor. He was, more likely, an active participant in the GOPe's effort to undermine actual conservative votes in American governance.

Man, you are fugly. Do you have a furry costume to hide that if you leave your motherboard? Holy smokes! I can smell you from there through the portal!

Of course you are from MN! OF COURSE!!! That part makes Pretti Good sense to me!

I can see why you are homebound and glued to the computer. Your festive spring yellow hoodie is zipped over your encrusted food tee shirt, amirite? About 3 days worth of junk food shipped in from illegals on their scooters. Do you tip?

Are you on SSI for mental illness? Needing a comfort iguana?

Who pays your rent? A furry boyfriend in transition? That would line up...

The only other question I have are those two action figures or saints next to your computer. I can't tell what they are. From McDonald's? Did you build them out of tin foil? What on earth are those?

Your pupils indicate a ton of drugs. Obviously your SSRI's are not helping much with your terminal TDS.

Therefore I recommend you cross the border to Canada for a suicide pod. It would be of good use for you and your depressed iguana. I hear it's good for you!

So much power resides in the presidency now that the winning of Congress is mostly a false prize.

The only real victory is directing the administrative state, DOJ, immigration enforcement, and treasury payments.

Everything else is largely pointless theater. Hell, when Democrats controlled Congress under Biden, all they did was pass a giant omnibus graft bill that all went to cronies. They didn't even pass policy. It's just...not what Congress does anymore.

You gotta learn to disassociate the Radio Play / MTV thing.

There was amazing Rock produced all along. You can get lost rediscovering awesome music from 1979-1984 that you were completely unaware of. And most of it had more balls than the gay Stadium Rock of the 70s.

Tuq'r Qarlson Attacks Trump: "No President Should Mock Islam"
Also Trots Out His New Demented Theory That Trump Might Be the Actual Literal Antichrist of the Book of Revelations

Let me just get this out of the way since the trolls are already here. (Is it funny, by the way, that we leave them in peace while they cannot stop attempting to annoy us into submission and threatening us that By God I'll Vote for Kamala Harris Just Like Nick Fuentes Told Me To If You Don't Obey My Tantrum!)


Below, in 2006, Tuq'r Qarlson said that he would vote for someone who declared "I'm a bigot, I don't like Islam, call me a racist, call me whatever you want."

And now? "A president should not mock Islam."

I assume that this is in reference to Trump ending some Truth social posts with "Peace be to Allah" or that kind of thing, which I'm not even sure is mockery. He might mean it in the George W. Bush kind of way.

Tuq'r is claiming Trump attacked Christianity itself and defiled Jesus by launching the rescue effort on Easter Sunday... ignoring the fact that the guy was about to be found and it wouldn't wait until start-of-business on Monday.

No, he says this was a deliberate attempt to "eradicate" Christianity itself.

And who would try to eradicate Christianity? Well, the Antichrist of course -- and Tuq'r Qarlson now asserts that Trump may be the literal Antichrist.

Tuq'r's new Conspiracy Theory is that Trump's war is not just on Iran, but on the Christian faith itself, a "stealthy but effective attack... on faith in Jesus."

He thinks that Trump might be looking for a more elevated position than the mere president of the United States: He's saying Trump wants to be Leader of the World, like the Antichrist will become.

In fairness, he believes that Jews are tricking him because he's stupid so that maybe Trump doesn't know he's the Antichrist yet.

What a stupid Antichrist stupid Drumpf is!!!

Tucker never stopped being the man who called Trump a "demonic force," a "destroyer," and in 2021 texts wrote: "I hate him passionately. I can't handle much more of this."

And "We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can't wait."

Tucker just lied to get close to Trump so he could undermine him.

And almost as if this is a planned op spearheaded by the foreign-government paid podcast brahs Tuq'r and Cavernous Nostrils, Cavernous just happens to drop her new conspiracy theory to day, that Trump is literally running a "satanic administration."

Wow, it's such a coincidence that Tuq'r accuses Trump of being the literal Antichrist on the same day Cavernous debuts her "satanic administration under the control of zionists" op!

And she says that Trump thinks he's a "Messiah!"

What kind of "Messiah," Cavernous Nostrils? A false one, presumably...?

Like the Antichrist will present himself as, yes?

candacesantaicadministration.jpg

Oh no, whatever I do, I mustn't accuse these very sensible and sane Patriots of being Traitors! That would be a wrongful slur, whine the cloying faggots who accuse everyone who is not a Paulite of being a "Neocon who just wants Bill Kristol to be president."

And what does Trump think of Tuq'r's and Cavernous's new theory that he is the literal son of Satan himself?

President Trump went off on Carlson when I asked him about this nonsense this morning.

"Tucker's a low IQ person that has absolutely no idea what's going on. He calls me all the time; I don't respond to his calls. I don't deal with him. I like dealing with smart people, not fools."

Boy I sure think Trump is making a huge mistake running down his loyal allies like that! We all have to unite behind Tuq'r, Cavernous, and of course !!RoNpAuL!!!!

93 willowed, but a lot of discussion in last thread about costs of the equipment so I repeat:
---------------
300 The cost analysis on the lost equipment is missing the point.

I was worth billions to prevent Iran from dragging one of our men through the streets like they have in the past. Not just for the loss of an American serviceman, but for the propaganda value.

The only reason to hesitate is the fear of making it worse and losing more men. The equipment cost does not enter the equation - it is trivial.

The thing is, these were career risking decisions. Hegseth would have been in a world of shit had he pulled a Jimmy Carter and the mission failed. He put his career on the line for the rescue. Trump DGAF, but he too would have paid a high price.

The win here is that we have leaders willing to put their careers and reputation at risk because it is the right thing to do. What a change.

I can't break this down statistically or scientifically, but as someone whose religious circle sometimes overlapped with, brushed up against, or was infiltrated by that segment of Christianity, there is a fraction of a fraction who will credulously follow any "Christian" of influence who hypes end-times apocalyptic bollocks and let their own confirmation bias do the rest. I suspect however that this sub-subset is relatively small and electorally insignificant, as compared to Christians and non-radical evangelicals more broadly. There were probably greater numbers in the 80s.

How about just that he's cruel and dangerous with a soul rotted to the core and Christians shouldn't support or worship him. Even a broken clock is correct sometimes, however this is not one of those times.

Tucker seems to have been personally shattered by the billion dollar judgement against Fox that included him being fired. I don't believe it's a fake persona just to get clicks. I think Tucker has developed a delusional persecution complex. Some day, he might even admit this.

Iran never controlled it. It's an international waterway that they have a coastline on. They tried to exert threats over it which partially worked for a few weeks.

The actual control over oil Iran has had is the 2 million barrels a day they produced, usually selling well below market rates to Russian and China to get around sanctions.,

As one that is familar with that world, it won't work except for the Flynn crowd. Same as the stupid 2016-2020 Dem ops regarding Trump and his divorces, etc.

In fact, the whole Rapture/Apocalyptic crowd has been on the wane in the evangelical community and ironically the reason is Trump.

Trump gives existential hope for the future to evangelicals while Barry and Puddin Brain's junta did not.

For the most part, Evangelicals dislike Muslims and the Muzzie pushes in Texas, and the normal part of VA (Falwell's old stomping grounds) give reason to view Trump as a corrective to weak assed GOPe GWB types muttering religion of peace while getting bucks behind the scene (like Tucker).

Because, as stupid as it sounds to us, it is actually in the best interest of the UK to have the US continue to fund the Ukraine war and NATO.

270 I think it's possible that Trump is the anti-Christ, but that's because I expect the anti-Christ to be completely on Israel's side... until it's time for him to betray them. So I expect the anti-Christ to appear to be on the side of good, at first.

BUT, I think it unlikely the Trump actually is because (1) I don't expect the anti-Christ to come from the US. I think he will more than likely come from Europe. And (2) because I think he's too old. I don't think the anti-Christ would wait 80 years to bring about his plans.

But I could be wrong.

273 Yeah, the tucker and owens thing is definitely an op. they are getting paid, or blackmailed. Maybe both. Its all histrionic emo concern and possibilities and can't rule out time travel or clones or demonic possession.

People in the media suck. They only get paid if people pay attention to them. So they must say stupid and crazy shit so people pay attention to them. Sometimes they fly too high and destroy themselves - see for example Keith Olberman. Ultimately, media people, at best, repeat what other people tell them. Most of the time they won't tell you who those other people are so you can decide whether it is bullshit or not. Its farcical most of the time. Lt Col. Bearclaw, some ex british spy with an expense account and no morals, a former employee of Bill and Hillary Clinton. None of these types of people are worth listening to at all. So they don't tell you who it is saying it. They do it for money. Its all about getting ahead, getting attention getting clicks, eyeballs etc. Its like they misbehaving attention starved kids found a way to get paid for their disfunction.

The chances of Republicans losing the Senate are vanishingly small.

They'd have to lose NC (Cooper can't get above 45% in a poll in a state he's supposedly popular in, all while the state has been moving rightward in registration since he left office as gov), ME (Collins sits on a throne of skulls for a reason), TX (HA!), and one other while holding Michigan (if that Muslim gets the nomination for the D's...it could be a tossup) and GA (Ossoff very well could lose, especially if the FBI is looking into Fulton which...they seem to be).

And even if D's net 3, Republicans still hold the majority because of Vance as VP.

Remember, the 2018 election saw a D+9 generic environment and Republicans...gained 2 Senate seats. It's not about the generic environment, it's about the specific seats in the specific states and that senate races drive up turnout to presidential levels in the states that have them.

382 As far as I know, the "gathering together" of all Christians happens before the tribulation and "end times", so before the anti-Christ.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. It states that all living believers, along with all believers who have died, will meet the Lord Jesus in the air and will be with Him forever. The rapture is God’s removing of His people from the earth. A few verses later, in 1 Thessalonians 5:9, Paul says, “For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

418 Iran state TV
Iranian state media filmed dozens of civilians forming a human chain in front of one of the country's power plants on Tuesday.

Iranian officials had called on civilians to help protect energy infrastructure amid President Donald Trump's threats to begin targeting it.

Trump has given Iran until 8 p.m. ET to agree to a deal that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but no progress has been announced.

Note: No word on how much is show and if active energy infrastructure.

Carlson alleged he is or was a traditional Christian who believes in God and the teachings of Jesus. He's converted into another religion or dropped Christianity altogether?

I'm going with Islam, TuCa and others (including a multitude of wacko ideologies) revealed, or not yet revealed, are the anti-Christ. And, perhaps there have been and/or are some signs from the Seven Signs of the Revelations, Book of the Revelations. 🤷‍♀️

I'm confident Trump and his administration won't destroy a great deal of the world, but I'm certain with a nuclear weapon, Iran would try.

I am a little embarrassed that I fell for Tucker's crap for so long. It was only about 6 to 8 months ago that I started suspecting there was something up with this weird dude. - When I noticed that Christian Apologists whose podcasts I sometimes tune into pointed out that Carlson was defending the human-shields tactics of Palestinian terrorists in Gaza; finding constant fault in Israel defending itself and making other sick arguments.

Allow me to point out that Christian Apologists' reactions to Carlson's crap is to either roll their eyes or laugh at him.
His "I'm defending true christianity" arguments are wholly unpersuasive.

He should go back to hunting UFO's and fending off midnight "demon attacks" while sleeping with his wife and dogs.

Iran Media Celebrates the Great Islamic Victory in Rescue of F-15 WSO; Joe Kent Spreads Iran Propaganda Lie That US Was Attempting to Kill the Weapons Officer Rather Than Rescue Him

Who put forward Joe Kent's name? Whoever did should be fired. I'm guessing it was Tulsi Gabbard but I don't know that.

He's a traitor and don't give me that jazz that servicemembers can't be traitors. Benedict Arnold was a capable commander until he turned over West Point to England.

He posted a dishonest message that PJs (pararescue men, who I thought were Pararescue Jumpers, but no one seems to call them that) are "the best" while posting Iranian propaganda funneled through Iran's American agents at DropSite news that the US was attempting to murder its own man.


American GIs, Tokyo Joe has a new message for you. The IRGC is having its way with your wives and girlfriends, American GIs.


Ex-Trump counterterror honcho Joe Kent promotes disturbing Iranian propaganda claiming US tried to kill stranded soldier

By Emily Crane
Published April 6, 2026, 4:29 p.m. ET

Conspiracy theorist and ex-National Counterterrorism Center boss Joe Kent has been called out for promoting wild Iranian propaganda that suggested the United States was actually trying to kill a downed American airman -- just hours before he was dramatically rescued.

Kent, who abruptly resigned from his Trump administration position last month in protest over Iran, got into a war of words with CNN's Jake Tapper on Monday after the former counterterror honcho was called out for peddling the false claims.

He had shared an article from Iranian state media over the weekend that claimed the US was actively bombing the same area where the missing airman was believed to be.

Oh I'm getting to that, below. American warplanes and drones released, a former pararescue man reports based on his insider knowledge, "violence of Biblical proportions" in the "FAFO box" around the downed airmen.

No, Tokyo Joe, it wasn't to kill the wizzo. It was to eradicate hundreds of Islamic Occupation Army thugs hunting him and rushing to his position.


The pro-regime outlet was reporting that the Trump administration had "lost hope" of finding the American soldier and was now trying to kill him before he could be captured by Iranian forces.


Kent shared the post before President Trump revealed hours later that the crewman had finally been rescued in a daring operation behind enemy lines.

Tapper, for his part, was quick to ridicule Kent "nonsense" post -- arguing his theory hadn't aged well.

"Former National Counterterrorism Center director Joe Kent sharing Iranian state-linked outlet nonsense claiming, falsely, that the US was trying to kill the then-lost US pilot," Tapper posted on X.

...

A defensive Kent quickly fired back, accusing Tapper and other media outlets of trying to "promote this foolish war & attack anyone who points out how this war isn't in our nation's interest."

You know, most traitors believe they're doing the right thing by championing a foreign country over their own. Plus, traitors tend to be enormous egotists, narcissists really, who always know better than everyone else.

Here's some background about the foreign propaganda mill "Drop Site News."


The madwoman that Tokyo Joe leaked to instead of doing his actual job has some thoughts as well:

candaceowensiran.jpg

Let's turn away from the American branch of Iran State Media to the Iranian branch.

They're celebrating their great victory in capturing sensitive American technology, like... candy and power bars.


One of the pictures shows the Islamic Occupation Army thug showing off a high-tech teriyaki beef stick. Another shows classified toothpaste.


Outstanding work, guys. Give yourselves all a bonus.

The bitter communists are celebrating the loss of the planes and helos as a big Win for Iran:

The bitter communist Peter Baker of the Bitter Communist NYT insists that Trump is "committing war crimes" by striking roads and bridges and power plants. This is bizarre. We always do that. They're key infrastructure used by the military. They say he must be prosecuted and jailed after he's out of office:

Peter Baker
@peterbakernyt

No other modern president has talked so openly about committing potential war crimes. Wartime presidents and their aides have usually insisted they were trying to follow international and US military law, even if they violated it in some cases. @ewong

If it sounds to you like a giant commie lie that it's a war crime to target military-used infrastructure in war, that's because that's exactly what it is.

This bitter communist professor says the US committed war crimes by targeting "military aged males" rushing to capture the downed pilot. He claims they might have just been civilians racing up the mountain towards the pilot so they're all war criminals.

"Age and gender," he intones, are not enough under International Law to establish that someone is a combatant.

How about context? Seems to me the only people racing up a mountain where a downed pilot is hidden are going to be people trying to capture him, not Recreational Armed Speed Hikers.

Below, a an insider-information analysis of the rescue of the Wizzo offered by a former PJ (Pararescue special operator).

Some highlights:

1) The little bird helicopters were carried aboard the C-130s, which have been modified to land anywhere. Unfortunately both C-130s got stuck in the ground and could not take off, so they and the helicopters were blown up. The helicopters did not have the range to get out of Iran and aren't capable of mid-air refueling.

2) He said there was an intense firefight -- "violence of Biblical proportions" -- between ground Basij and IRGC forces and lots of American planes and drones sent to protect the area where the downed pilot was hiding. The American forces created an "FAFO box" around the pilot's position and anyone coming with in it got the FO. Planes and drones were bombing open road just to slow down the approaching Islamic Occupation Army forces. (Which the left tells me is a war crime. But then, so was targeting the Occupation forces rushing to capture and torture the pilot.)

3) Unfortunately some of the rescuers were wounded by bullets and shrapnel in the firefight. I expect this will be the subject of intense press curiosity over the next months. They will turn this Anti-Benghazi, where we actually committed all the forces necessary to achieve a rescue, into "Trump's Benghazi."

4) He does not estimate the number of Islamic Occupational Army thugs killed by from context it sounds like it could be in the hundreds.

5) Because the C-130s were stuck, they had to send in more C-130s to pick up the special forces operators now out in the open in Iran and surrounded by Islamic Occupation Army forces.

6) He says he was leaked the information -- actually he pretends he's speaking "hypothetically allegedly" -- that some of the joint chiefs did not want to mount the rescue at all, considering it too dangerous, but someone with the handle "SecWar" overruled them.

Iran sent in special forces. The put on a bounty of $60,000. The location wasn't that far from a city of 2.2 million people, so local IRGC and police were probably directly involved.

Iran had a full day head start. The colonel was injured and only had a sidearm and a locator beacon.

Iran NEEDED this victory. They NEEDED to parade the POW around and torture him.

They offered a bounty of roughly 20-30x the annual Iranian salary to catch him in addition to getting direct reports with experience to go.

And they fucking failed miserably, getting slaughtered in the process.

That Dannenbaum fag apparently has never heard of the term "unlawful combatant" under International Law. Running around a battlefield shooting at uniformed troops while wearing civilian clothes and no identifying mark such as an armband or brassard to show that you're part of a lawful military/paramilitary unit qualifies you as an unlawful combatant.

Interesting aside, unlawful combatants can be summarily executed under the Geneva and Hague Conventions without violating the Laws of War.

Hell, even the Crips and Bloods in the US would qualify as lawful combatants, because they wear blue and red identifying marks. These middle eastern mohammedans never wear anything to identify themselves. Chinese knock-off counterfeit sneakers doesn't count.

Now, this was mostly due to underlying mental state, but the supplements brought it out under those conditions much more readily.

I do not think any of these people have that self reflection. Or if they do, they are suppressing it or even egging the imbalance on in order to get clicks.

Former Bernie supporter and Tulsi supporter who switch to Republican in about 2020, lost a safe GOP House seat twice, and then got a job in the Trump administration last year, supposedly at the behest of Tulsi.

He then spent his year tenure listening to Candace and complaining that the FBI wouldn't let him investigate things in his non-investigatory position, all while saying things in interviews about how Iran was an immediate threat in need of direct action.

He also most likely leaked info to Candace in this time.

He then flounced his job when he found out he was being investigate for the leaks, calling Iran a peaceful nation, and went on the podcast circuit as a prelude to him starting his own podcast (presumably).

It's possible that with AI drone swarms aiding local uprisings and with air support from the US and Israel the currently unarmed local resistance could do something against the regime, but we would need like a million drones.

The one who saw American's charred bodies swinging from a bridge in Iraq (but that's not a war crime!?) and said:
"I feel nothing for them. Fuck 'em."

And every major Democrat has sucked up to him and kissed his ring.
Not one fucking Democrat has--or ever will--condemn him for that statement.

So I reciprocate his thoughts for all Democrats.

Very few atheists can get into their heads that if they don't like religious fundamentalism or scriptural literalism, Islam is worse than anything serious in Christianity much less Judaism.

That Dannenbaum fag apparently has never heard of the term "unlawful combatant" under International Law. Running around a battlefield shooting at uniformed troops while wearing civilian clothes and no identifying mark such as an armband or brassard to show that you're part of a lawful military/paramilitary unit qualifies you as an unlawful combatant.

Interesting aside, unlawful combatants can be summarily executed under the Geneva and Hague Conventions without violating the Laws of War.

Hell, even the Crips and Bloods in the US would qualify as lawful combatants, because they wear blue and red identifying marks. These middle eastern mohammedans never wear anything to identify themselves. Chinese knock-off counterfeit sneakers doesn't count.

I suspect Israeli intel knows and that means the US knows too. But, the hits on this or that IRGC and/or Basiji hq are up. And apparently the demand for children to man checkpoints is coming because the attrition rate including desertion and fear, of their street level thugs is too much. I think Israel again is doing the drone ops on the checkpoints. Israeli intel and experience with street level terrorists (see Lebanon, Syria, etc.) with their Air Force and drones plus the US ability to smash hardened and massive infrastructure targets plus sat imagery is proving to be a lethal one two punch to the IRGC regime.

201 I still think Trump is allowing this to drag on as an opportunity for the USA to take full control of the strait.

Think about it - he wants Greenland because it is strategic. He wants control of (USA Canal in) Panama because it is strategic.

He does not want any potential weapons to be held over our heads if/when there is another big war. The strait is a big problem unless the USA has full operation and defensive control over all shipping.

Benedict Arnold was a capable commander until he turned over West Point to England.


He intended to turn West Point over to the British. It did not happen because local militia captured British Major John Andre, found papers in his boot regarding the intended betrayal, and generously stretched his neck when the British would not return Arnold to the Continental forces.

There's a story that George Washington went to Arnold's home to find him and Peggy Arnold engaged in histrionics and rending of her garments to create a delay so 'Dict could get behind British lines.

"In April 2026, Cuba began releasing over 2,000 prisoners as a "humanitarian and sovereign gesture" during Holy Week, under mounting pressure from the Trump administration, which had imposed an oil embargo. While this was one of the largest amnesties in years, multiple sources, including Reuters and American Thinker, reported that the majority were not political prisoners, and none convicted of "crimes against authority" — a category often used against dissidents — were included."

236 The Shia Mahdism cult in Iran has nothing in common with Venezuelans.

They'll have to be blasted out of existence in their last bunkers like Hitler and his die harders.

The cultists in control are not a majority of the Iranian people, so in principle the people could overthrow them, but the weapons are in the hands of the cultists.

Also, people in the West are really underestimating the inventory of ballistic missiles and drones they still have in these supposedly 27 deep hardened underground facilities and apparently Iranian manpads as well, which supposedly took out the F-15E.

It should be a wake-up call for our military strategists how Iran was readily able to destroy US radars, aircraft and base facilities with missiles and drones and even now we are still in distant stand-off mode from our targets because of this threat.

This operation was more complex than the bin Laden raid.

It took place in unknown territory instead of a compound we'd duplicated for months of training, against a theoretically unlimited OPFOR.

There was functionally no lead time. One minute the -15 was fine, the next there were two Americans on parachutes.

Instead of a unique, homogenous, specialized force, we used combined arms which - while we're all on the same team - complicates things more than none.

This rescue was absolutely bonkers, and the more you look at it, the crazier it gets.

We can simply take back what Somalis and Democrat officeholders/ngos have stolen. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 8 billion bucks on Learing Centers and hospices alone. That will buy plenty of Little Birds and C-130's.

Hell, read up on the Son Tay raid in Vietnam. POW rescue mission about 25 miles outside of Hanoi in 1970 that only failed because the well at the POW camp got contaminated so the NVA moved the prisoners a few weeks prior. The plan included taking a helicopter and intentionally crash landing in the middle of the POW camp after hosing down the guard towers with miniguns at virtually point-blank range.

One of the most complex special ops missions ever attempted by the US, and despite several hiccups and such during the mission, it was executed perfectly. At least 200+ NVA killed, and the strike force had 2 casualties: one trooper was shot in the leg, the other casualty was the crew chief on the intentionally crashed helo, who received a broken ankle when a fire extinguisher broke its securing strap.

The Saudi pipeline is about 7 million barrels (running at capacity now, before the conflict it was doing less than 1 million per day). And the Oman pipeline is about 1.5 million per day, also running at capacity.

Combine that with American shale overproducing to take advantage of the higher prices and demand destruction that comes from high prices, and this is a managed affair that's going to snap back at some point once people realize that Iran is all talk and no "fly drones into ships".

He asked for it to done and the military performed awesomely to make it a success but did lose 2 older C-130s and some equipment they blew up to keep the IRGC from getting it.

300 The cost analysis on the lost equipment is missing the point.

I was worth billions to prevent Iran from dragging one of our men through the streets like they have in the past. Not just for the loss of an American serviceman, but for the propaganda value.

The only reason to hesitate is the fear of making it worse and losing more men. The equipment cost does not enter the equation - it is trivial.

The thing is, these were career risking decisions. Hegseth would have been in a world of shit had he pulled a Jimmy Carter and the mission failed. He put his career on the line for the rescue. Trump DGAF, but he too would have paid a high price.

The win here is that we have leaders willing to put their careers and reputation at risk because it is the right thing to do. What a change.

The Morning Rant

punk-monkey.jpg

Bernard Lewis, the great scholar of Islam, said:

For Muslims, negotiation is a form of warfare, conducted by other means, and is subject to the same rules.

In the traditional Islamic view, the world is divided into the House of Islam and the House of War. The latter is assumed to be at war with Islam until it submits... weakness invites attack, strength commands respect.

Westerners, and particularly Western governments often make the ridiculous assumption that Muslims are part of the empirical, logic-driven philosophy of the West. And even more laughable...they assume that honor, and simply doing what one says one will do is a bedrock of Muslim culture, just as it is in the West.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Lies, subterfuge, propaganda...all are accepted methods of negotiation in the Muslim world. The idea that there is some sort of code of honor between people is laughable. Strength is lauded; weakness is mocked and taken advantage of. And following through with commitments is simply unheard of. Behavior is based on what is best for Family, Clan, Country. If that agrees with an agreement, then wonderful. If not...it is also wonderful.

Trump confirms U.S. sent guns to Iranian people, but says intermediary kept them

President Donald Trump on Monday indicated that the U.S. had attempted to send guns to the Iranian people to help them fight the Islamic Republic's armed forces, but that the intermediary that was supposed to distribute the weapons merely kept them instead.

"We sent some guns," he said. "They were supposed to go to the people so they could fight back against these thugs. You know what happened? The people that we sent them to kept them."

"So, I am very upset with a certain group of people and they're gonna pay a big price for that," he added.


President Trump is understandably frustrated by what is a common behavior in the Muslim world. Cheating and stealing? Yeah...so? But unlike his predecessors, President Trump may very well punish that behavior, which would be a novel response in the Western world. The Muslim world has come to expect the West to negotiate from a position of weakness, because they simply do not understand the Muslim mindset. While it is unclear that President Trump understands it, it is abundantly clear that he doesn't like it.

Iran expected a typical Western military campaign...a few bombs, a few missiles, and they could then get back to their strategy of obfuscation and delay while working to create a missile force that would be unstoppable.

That President Trump turned that on its head is a testament to his resolve, and his understanding of the geopolitical reality of a nuclear Iran. But most of all it is obvious that he does not trust the Iranian hierarchy, and that is a sea change in Western dealings with the Muslim world!

This Artemis mission is happening because Elon Musk laid down several markers saying "we aren't finished here, space exploration has only just begun," and it forced NASA out of its torpor and made it *do something big in space again.*

At the same time, AI (for better or worse) has forced the energy sector and government regulators out of their corporate, and brought back nuclear power science. I feel this keenly because I live in the region that is the beating heart of nuclear energy's bright new feature. I'm literally watching them build out all the capacity on a daily basis.

All of this began in King Trump's first glorious regnancy. From a technology standpoint, he has strong armed the US government into turning the clock back 60 years. It's probably the mist concrete example of MAGA he can point to.

And they've been calling in their proxies from Iraq for more than a week.

And Israel has been bombing the convoys of militias crossing the border at the same time.

Calling in reserves when there's literally no sign of a ground invasion happening (it takes...a lot to prep that especially on the other side of the globe). Internal cohesion is gone and they've resorted to outright and active oppression of the people. It's the only thing they have left in their arsenal besides rolling out individual missile launchers and firing single digits of missiles a night (they fired one last night at Saudi Arabia...1).

And I suspect that the remaining IRGC leadership (like Ahmad Vahidim, current IRGC chief) are very high targets that Israel and the US have been trying to take out for weeks.

The notion of protecting your power grid by putting human shields around the power station is absurd, because:
1) smart bombs are very precise, so unless the kids are on top of the generators, it won't work
2) one could just take out the transmission lines. Anyone who then tries to repair the lines gets pink misted.

Kurds in Iran. Trump said this earlier. Apparently these particular Kurds (depending on who you believe are separatists) stole both the US firearms and Starlink terminals for resale and some of both ended up with IRGC. This group was used apparently starting from months ago and proved to be treacherous as the opposition in cities never received what they were supposed to get.

For the most part, the US has had an idealized ideal of the Kurds as noble opposition fighters due to mutual opposition to Iraqi central government whereas in reality, and from behavior in Europe and other Middle Eastern countries from Turkey, Syria, and Iran, they behave par for the course for Muslims and the Middle East.

Posted by: 18-1 at April 07, 2026 11:25 AM (sKqQm)

The left thinks that every effort must be spent to avoid killing criminals who are threatening citizens or police officers. Because they are only criminals because society forced them into it.

And zero effort must be spent to save soldiers fighting for our nation's safety. Because they chose to put themselves in harm's way.

Not surprisingly, the left is exactly backwards of morality.

84 The notion of protecting your power grid by putting human shields around the power station is absurd, because:
1) smart bombs are very precise, so unless the kids are on top of the generators, it won't work
2) one could just take out the transmission lines. Anyone who then tries to repair the lines gets pink misted.

He doesn't hate Obama he want to be Obama: successful, smart, loved by people, loved by his wife. So he destroy all things done by Obama and try to do it better, but he obviously can't since he is a moron.

the whole “iran killed 50k protestors” is a CIA/Mossad op, both starting/provoking them and using it as a talking point. Anyone who believed it is dumb as hell, or a hasbara op

I don't think it is possible anymore. The IRGC higher ups fear their own people killing them for what they have done for decades in Iran. It is not just the 40-50k killed now but probably the numbers are well over 100k in the last twenty years or so. Quite a civilian bloodletting in 2009 Green Revolution as well. That is the stakes for the IRGC commanders and they have few choices to vacate (except mebbe flee to Afghanistan for an uncertain future).

Never threaten a criminal while he is ransacking your house. Tell him where the really good stuff is so he'll leave sooner.

140 This is much like fighting the 3rd Reich in 1945; by now the few intelligent ones know they've already lost, but they're going to force us to annihilate them before they give up. They don't think we have the nerve to do it.

And based on the last 50 years of military activities by the US, that's a reasonable assessment. We won't get deterrence back until we prove we're willing to go all the way without backing down.

You are 100% correct, they are going to go down to the wire just like the nazi's did in 1945. During the siege of berlin the ss and gestapo were still hanging people for "defeatism" when everyone knew it was over.


The irgc is going to do the same and they are going to have to be rooted out from wherever they are hiding and killed before this can end the way Trump wants it to. It is extremely doubtful that the iranian people are going to rise up and overthrow the regime no matter how much we wish it would happen.

170 The attack on Pearl Harbor was supposed to make the US angry. Japan knew about the American ship construction plan and knew they couldn't match it. Yamamoto was trying to replay the Russo-Japanese war by making the US angry enough to move the Atlantic fleet into the Pacific where they would be destroyed in a repeat of Tsushima. He didn't count on Nimitz.
Surprise attacks worked for them in the Sino Japanese and Russo-Japanese war, not so much in the Imjin War and WW2.

Pretty much true. The mullahs were the front men and religion was the excuse for brutal control by the IRGC and their Basiji.

211 If any shit goes down in Iran it will be at night. And I'm betting the lights and power will not be operational at any site we intend to strike.

We've been striking them non-stop, day and night, for 5+ weeks so far. I don't think we actually worry too much about a night benefit anymore. Hell, day strikes might be better, as Trump would get better video footage to show and crow about.

212 The thing that makes Trump hard to predict is sometimes he plays chess and sometimes he plays checkers and sometimes he throws the dice in a YOLO game of roulette.
Posted by: Max Power at April 07, 2026 12:08 PM (q177U)

While he might do that, I'm pretty sure he wants to give the impression that he will do that.

He'll accept losses, and given his history of failure and rebirth, he is willing to gamble, but I don't think he's just throwing the dice. I think he just has a higher risk tolerance than most people (and MUCH higher than most politicians.) High risk, but high reward.

As our country has been slowly drowning from the shackles put on for 80 years, I'm pretty sure that mindset is EXACTLY what we needed.

214 Grok on space toilets.

Artemis/Orion toilet: This is the Universal Waste Management System (UWMS), a compact, lightweight version designed for deep-space missions. It's about 65% smaller and 40% lighter than the main ISS toilet. Urine is vented overboard (with occasional issues like frozen vent lines, as seen recently on Artemis II), while solid waste is stored in odor-controlled canisters and returned to Earth.

The Orion unit has modifications for the lunar journey (e.g., different controller software and no connection to a water-recycling system). It's the first toilet purpose-built for a crewed mission beyond low Earth orbit.

ISS toilets:

The station has multiple units (currently around 4 on the ISS itself, plus others on visiting vehicles).

The primary U.S. segment uses the Waste and Hygiene Compartment (WHC), which includes an older NASA toilet plus a tested UWMS unit for demonstration. Russian segments have their own designs. On the ISS, urine is often processed through the Urine Processor Assembly to recycle water back into drinking water ("today's coffee is tomorrow's coffee"). Solid waste is stored and later disposed of via cargo vehicles like Progress

221 It's frustrating, encountering so many people who think that because the Islamic Allah is a monotheistic creator god then Muslims must be very similar to Christians.
- This is never brought to address the Muslim hatred of Jews, who also believe in their monotheistic Creator God;
- This does not address the Moslem rejection of the divinity of God's son the Lord Jesus Christ...which is the entire basis of Christianity, fer cryin' out loud.

These folks seem to have never asked a Muslim about this supposed "similarity." If they had, they would have learned that Muslims also hate and reject Christians, but Christians are not their priority at the moment.

46 I don't care for cubism, or any mode of art that uses the fracture of reality to create the picture. it seems like the artist enjoys breaking creation and remaking it in his or her mind's image, and it is twisted and uncanny.

Impressionism, though, I find beautiful. The picture is clear when you have distance, as if the artist is saying, take a step back so you can see the whole, not just a tiny portion that may not make sense.

In a nutshell, I wouldn't hang this in my living room.

136 Ok, to go back on everything I just said as far as car design- I actually LIKE the Tesla Truck. For whatever reason, the design has grown on me as time has gone by.

Dunno why, but it works for me.

The biggest issue I have is the front headlight.

James May had a video which was actually a fairly decent critique on the body style from a design perspective. He pointed out that a lot of car manufacturers stayed away from strictly straight lines because it was very hard and precise to get them to meet properly between panels. So if the machining and fitting is off just a little bit, then you can see that the corners do not match at a join.

He also pointed out that having a single light bar as the headlight meant that people ahead of you cannot judge very well how far away you are because you do not have split headlights.

Context: Painted in Berlin during the onset of WWI, the piece reflects a sense of isolation and dark, inward retreat through its deep tones and compressed space.
Subject: It is based on a drawing Feininger made of a street in Weimar, Germany, featuring stylized architectural forms.
Style: The painting is noted for its "crystalline treatment of light and form," blending emotional tension with structural, geometric lyricism.
Location: The painting is in the collection of the Norton Simon Museum (Pasadena, CA).
About the Artist

Why didn't the Artemis II crew land on the moon to prove that Neil Armstrong had been there?

It'd be so easy to do! And then they could disprove all the conspiracy theories that have never been seriously addressed!

Also, the moon isn't real because the world is flat.

The Morning Report — 4/7/26

BangZoom.jpg

Good morning kids. This morning it's all about miracles and wonders. on the last episode of the podcast linked here and in the sidebar
also available on the popular platforms listed at the bottom of the post I poo-pooed the Artemis moon mission but colleague and cob CBD observed how the mission was yet another confirmation of, despite all our many and serious problems, the greatness of this nation in being able to send a sophisticated piece of technology and an incredibly skilled and brave crew on a half million mile journey to the moon and return safely please God. it was plain for all the world to see. while I do question the necessity of the government to be funding and involved in space technology and exploration, the Artemis mission and most especially the free market enterprises such as SpaceX are engaging in the necessary task of giving America the edge in securing the ultimate high ground for our national security and future prosperity. So consider me duly chastised in this regard. I hope that despite it being yet another DC Bureaucracy, perhaps Nasa and its partners in the private sector and the War Dept. can overcome the typical pitfalls of bureaucracy and make great strides in the aforementioned. Maybe I'm being more than a bit Pollyannaish, but still, here we are 53 years after the last lunar mission and making history again.

“You’ve made history and made all America really proud, incredibly proud,” Trump told the four astronauts just hours after they emerged from the far side of the moon. “Humans have really never seen anything quite like what you’re doing in a manned spacecraft,” Trump marveled. “It’s really special.” The commander in chief was introduced to the crew by NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman, who noted the president “wanted to be the first person to greet you after your return from the far side of the moon.” 

As awe-inspiring as this is, for my money there is nothing more inspiring and incredible as the bravery and daring of our men and women in uniform.

U.S. special operations forces rescued the second crew member from a downed F-15E fighter jet in Iran after a “heavy firefight,” successfully extracting both airmen and all rescue personnel from the country, according to multiple reports.
U.S. officials told Axios and Fox News the high-risk combat search-and-rescue mission recovered the weapon systems officer more than a day after the aircraft was shot down, concluding a complex operation that unfolded behind enemy lines. The weapon systems officer had evaded capture after ejecting alongside the pilot, using Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape (SERE) training to move away from the wreckage and take cover on elevated terrain while activating an emergency beacon, according to reporting cited by Fox News.


“The CIA executed a deception campaign to confuse the Iranians, who were desperately hunting for our airman. On Saturday morning, we achieved our primary objective by finding and providing confirmation that one of America’s best and bravest was alive and concealed in a mountain crevice, still invisible to the enemy but not to the CIA,” Ratcliffe said. (RELATED: Israeli Airstrike Takes Out Top Iranian Intel Chief, Officials Say)

Well, I imagine if John Brennan was still running Langley, he'd have guided the IRGC right to the downed airmen. The same Brennan who helped concoct the deception campaign known as the Russian collusion hoax.

hopefully now we can finish the job or at long last the Persian people can rise up and finish off the Mullahs.

President Donald Trump said on Sunday that the United States attempted to supply Iranian protesters with weapons this year so they could defend themselves against another massacre, but the effort was not successful because Kurdish intermediaries decided to keep some of the guns for themselves.

I and doubtless many of you had contemplated this kind of move. well to be fair the Kurds have been the targets of the mullahs, Saddam Hussein and the Turks because of their national aspirations and so arming them I suppose was a bridge too far for the Foggy Bottom bottom dwellers. That said to play devil's advocate do we really want to arm a potential insurgent force that could carry out terroristic acts in the same vein as the Basque separatists of Eta or the Ira?
then again the Kurds are not fanatical islamists. but if they can destabilize and counter the IRGC and mullahs maybe it's missed opportunity.

with that...

Have a great day!

But to Kimmel, all that was condensed to being a “plumber,” as if his left-wing audience would likewise see a plumber reaching the highest levels of government as a joke.

17 Sorry to say I disagree with your NASA assesment. NASA lead the way to DEI decades ago and it is so entrenched now it can never be removed.

NASA is collection of massively corrupt, over-grown sandboxes that was doing great pulling the wool over everyone's eyes until Musk found a way to make money in space.

NASA needs to go back to the labs and get the hell out of design and execution in Manned Space.

That is what the last five years plus has taught anyone who cares enough to pay attention.

24 Goodbye NATO. An update on a prior post:

Trump & Co released a report on US global strategic priorities:

1. Fortress Americas with a latter-day Monroe Doctrine
2. The Far East. We'll try to get China to play nice, but if not see #1
3. Europe. Has lost its way. If they don't find their way back, it's on them. See #1
4. Africa. Benign neglect. See #1

On #1, we have Venezuela, Greenland and soon Cuba
On #2, witness Japan's PM hugging Trump yesterday
On #3, see Europe's open hostility to American interests in Iran. Europe has similar interests, but they fear their imported Muslims

Trump will have us out of NATO by the end of 2026.

Free Speech For People said in a press release Monday that a new national poll found “a majority of likely 2026 voters nationwide support impeaching President Donald Trump,” which the group called “an extraordinary and unprecedented level of support so early in a presidential term.”

The poll, conducted by Lake Research Partners from March 26-30 among 800 likely 2026 general election voters, found that 52 percent support impeaching Trump, while 40 percent oppose it. 46 percent said they strongly support impeachment, compared with 37 percent who strongly oppose it, while 8 percent said they were unsure or had no opinion.

Iran called on its youth Tuesday to form human chains around its power plants – after President Trump threatened to decimate the Islamic Republic’s energy infrastructure if it fails to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. “Power plants that are our national assets and capital, regardless of any taste or political viewpoint, belong to the future of Iran and to the Iranian youth,” Alireza Rahimi, secretary of the Supreme Council of Youth and Adolescents, said in a video aired on state TV.

The story, if true, is that the US shipped some large supply of small arms to some Kurdish intermediaries, with the agreement they would turn these over to the Iranian opposition. Trump is saying that the Kurdish intermediaries then double crossed us and just kept them all for themselves.

78 Powerline Blog has a follow up on the South African refugees Trump has taken in.

Known a few South Africans recently arrived in America, Afrikaner and English. Uniformly, they’ve said, what a joy just to be able to walk around freely. Without fear of attack. One young South African guy, when I raised the security issue, just blurted out, “I had a gun put to my head.”

A South African woman said an American told her, we have home invasions in this country, too. She asked, how many people do you know who have been home invaded? None, he said. I don’t know anyone who hasn’t had a home invasion, she told him. Her elderly parents were tied up at gunpoint. She was grateful they were only robbed.

My Afrikaner exGF carried a gun as a young woman out on the town. Explained cheerfully, you don’t stop for red lights in South Africa. That’s where they’re waiting for you.

Welcome to America. More immigration like this please. Afrikaners just want to work. Contribute.

88 44 Trump’s claim that some Kurdish intermediaries kept weapons intended for the Iranian resistance is disturbing if true, mainly because if true it means whoever pushed that program has a disturbing naïveté about the entire region.

It would be insanely foolish to give ANY group in the Middle East weapons in the belief they’d willingly turn them over to someone else. Thats not how anyone in the region, even those who we think are receptive to us, thinks or is capable of doing.

2. Iran is threatening to no longer restrain itself. Because when the bombing started, their first impulse was to hold back. But now bridges, foreign piwer and desalination plants are on the table.

3. Irans calling on civilians to act as human shields and form human chains around power plants. I'm sure their going to get right on that Mo! You first....

I'm not sure what's going to happen, but I don't want this going on until 2069. And if President Trump can help the Cubans before the mid-terms, this all goes down the memory hole.

100 Kharg Island is one of the largest oil refineries and terminals Iran has. Deep water for large tankers. If the US controls Kharg, the US controls the oil processed and shipped for there. A huge amount of oil that Iran exports moves through Kharg.

Iran has been threatening to release the real stuff, to really fight back, for more than 4 weeks.

And all their doing is firing a handful of missiles per night at Saudi Arabia and other nearby countries.

They had the golden opportunity to get an American POW to torture live on the Internet. He was injured and alone in their country for 2 days. They lost 1500 men trying to get to him while the US built a makeshift airbase 20 minutes from an Iranian city of 2.2 million people.

All while massive stockpiles of their ballistics weapons capabilities have been destroyed in giant balls of fire for weeks.

I...don't think there's much to escalate with anymore. They would have done it weeks ago. All they have left is terror against their own people and LEGO AI slop videos.

The Communist campaign against innate human nature continues. One reason Communism fails in the long run is it runs counter to human nature, which is not close to pure communism/socialism above a small tribal level. So at medium-to-large scale, the Commies turn to a combination of brain-washing, indoctrination in children's schools, and forced compliance, to force people to live as good little commie workers and citizens.

My take is that I am surprised I'm not aware of some of the bigger ones like Gunther Eagleman but the left's take on this cracks me up...

Silver complains this shows the ecosystem is broken and I see other lefties arguing twitter is an echo chamber.

But I think what it really shows is that right of center people prefer discussions, not hierarchy and honestly there are way, way more right of center people at least in the US. The left is competitive due to fraud, LIVs influenced by the media, and people voting for who is giving them $$$ - none of those three groups is going to go to twitter to ask Brian Allen if the Democrat's take on the Iran war is good for the country.

TYRUS SAYS IT PERFECTLY on the rescue of our airman in Iran: "That decision was his PRESIDENCY. You understand that if ONE person had died what this news cycle would have been. If one pilot hadn’t got out, they’d be screaming war crimes and more!"

“They knew this was his win because all they could talk about was his language. ‘Did you hear what he said?’ You’re damn right I heard what he said!"

“He was willing to put his career on the line and his own team were saying the risk is high, but he went with his gut. With leadership, that’s the difference between being great when you do things for the people regardless of what it does to you politically."

Exactly. My favorite part of President Trump's presser yesterday was the line line "They're great bullshitters."

I did some very basic research on Kharg island. It wouldn't be too hard to take but grok - yeah GIGO - said it's vulnerable to missiles and drone attacks for awhile. Even if the power plants are destroyed, all these have independent power supplies.

Even now, I have to imagine targeting and communications are an issue. Much more if President Trump is bluffing.

Oh grok also said Iran exports 2.2 million barrels of oil a day. Opec is near capacity but at these prices I'm sure all oil producing countries could and would be anxious to cash in. It may take a little while. Gas prices were $5.02 under Biden.

Why stop there lol?

Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.) said she will introduce articles of impeachment against Hegseth next week for "repeatedly violating his oath of office and his duty to the Constitution."

The list of reasons is endless. Let's start with him touting America's "air dominance" just before one of our fighter planes was shot down by Iranian air defense and two of our soldiers had to be rescued behind enemy lines, and openly defying a federal judge who ruled that the Pentagon violated the first amendment by restricting press access to his "department of war."

Should impeach him for restricting women and minorities from being promoted to top general positions, because Trump doesn't want to stand next to them in a parade.

Whoever authorized bombing a kindergarten needs to be tried as well as the one that actually did the bombing. We need to make it crystal clear if you are military and don't disobey a illegal order you will face punishment.

Just a reminder that the current “Secretary of War” was kicked out of military service for theft, substance abuse, and sexual misconduct.

After 1/6, Trump was facing his second impeachment trial.

He had already lost the election. He was on his way out of office, and the Senate could have delivered the fatal blow: conviction. It would take 67 Senators, but the GOP could finally lay down a judgement, a constitutional judgement, that Donald J. Trump was no longer allowed in politics for the rest of his lift.

They only got 57 votes. Of the 7 Republicans who voted for conviction, only 3 are left in the Senate.

Seriously...people who dream about impeachment as something remotely feasible should be mocked as fucking stupid.

Iran's demands are hilarious. Beautifully delusional. I saw 2013 'Evil Dead 2' this weekend. One guy is telling his girlfriend "Everything is fine. Everything is going to be alright."

I admired his optimism considering ... let's just say I burst out laughing at what was happening and him telling her everything was going to be alright. Dude was truly a glass half full guy.

In many ways, that's the story of Iran....

Remember when they were promising the super advanced missiles that would fly past all the interceptors and everything?

Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at April 07, 2026 08:38 AM (mdSmG)


They are doing what they can. They are using some missile warheads that deploy/scatter small entry vehicles with HE warheads. Nearly impossible to target and destroy all the small bombs before they impact. Current US/Israeli anti-missile systems have very limited capability to intercept and destroy warhead before it scatters the small boys. The only good aspect is the small boys can't do a whole lot of damage. But they can play havoc with parked aircraft (one of them may have taken out that E-3C at a Saudi airbase) and randomly hit schools, apartment buildings, and other non-hardened mil and civvy stuff. China likely has similar cluster IRBM warheads aimed at Guam and other US Pacific bases.

There's nothing in his military record regarding substance abuse or sexual misconduct I've seen reported, although various allegations were made regarding both during his civilian life.

He was on orders for Biden's inauguration (many National Guard troops support inauguration), and "was removed from duty at after a fellow guardsman flagged him as a potential "insider threat" due to a "Deus Vult" (Latin for "God wills it") tattoo on his biceps..." He later resigned and retired, but wasn't disciplined.

Cop is called to a domestic disturbance. He parks his car and starts walking up to a house.

When he gets about 10 feet from the door a woman comes sprinting out with a knife charging at him.

He started backing up and reaching for his pistol but he had maybe a second and shot her as she landed at his feet.

Now, what happens if that is an unarmed social worker?

Also if you find threads on this sort of thing you will find the left complains BOTH that the cops arrest to many people when going to domestic disturbances AND that they don't take them seriously enough.

This is caused by the conflict between the left's pro-crime side and its feminist side - something like what happens when you drop a cat with a slice of peanut butter toast on its back onto a carpet...

TOILET UPDATE: Orion's toilet is NO-GO for use. Houston has requested all Artemis II crew members to use their Collapsible Contingency Urinals (CCUs) in the meantime.

330 The Department of Homeland Security told the New York Post that Carlos Corte-Corte, 38, of Ecuador, was taken into custody by ICE on March 31 and placed into removal proceedings following the March 28 incident at Laundry Kingdom in Patchogue.

"This three-time deported criminal illegal alien, Carlos Corte-Corte, kidnapped an innocent four-year-old girl from a laundromat on Long Island. New York sanctuary politicians chose to release this kidnapper from jail to prey on more innocent children rather than cooperate with ICE law enforcement," Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis told the newspaper.

386 The U.S. middle class is shrinking, but not because more Americans are poorer. Instead, more households are climbing into the echelons of the upper middle class due to income gains in recent decades, according to research from the nonpartisan American Enterprise Institute.

About 31% of U.S. households earn enough to be considered upper middle class, a roughly threefold increase since 1979, making it the nation's largest economic group, the research found. Meanwhile, the share of Americans in the "core" and "low" middle class segments has declined over that time, primarily because more households in those income groups have jumped ahead economically, AEI found.

“Several others face execution, in violation of international due process and fair trial rights and the right to life”, the fact-finding mission continued, as it warned against a repeat of military attacks on Iranian detention facilities, such as the Israeli strike on Evin Prison last June.

Independent experts who report to the Human Rights Council are not UN staff and they are not paid for their work."

Daily Tech News 7 April 2026

Top Story

  • A critical security vulnerability has been discovered in the leaked version of Claude Code. (Adversa)

    If you've used Claude Code, you've noticed that it loves running shell commands to examine your codebase, rather than, say, reading it. Or having simple fixed-function code built into the software to do it on your computer.

    And it also loves to ask you for permission to run those shell commands.

    The vulnerability comes into play when a very long string of shell commands are run together. For the first fifty commands it will check - manually if needed, and in its history of permitted and denied commands if it's in there already.

    And on the fifty-first command, it rests. And executes it regardless.

    So if someone triggers a long string of commands and the first fifty are innocuous, after that they can take full control of your computer - because Claude Code runs on your computer, and just communicates with the Claude AI service as needed.

    The particularly lovely thing here is that Anthropic already fixed this.

    But both versions are present inside Claude Code and it using the broken one.


  • The cult of vibe coding is insane. (Bram Cohen)

    Claude Code is the preeminent vibe coding tool.

    Guess how it was coded? Guess how that horrible bug stayed in, even after it was fixed.

    You'll never guess.

    Oh, you guessed.

21 PBS interviewed Rafael Grossi the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency on 3/18/26.

Grossi Is a cagey interviewee and he doesn't give up much when asked questions that could easily be politically spun. By this I mean spun in a direction that paints President Trump as a war happy maniac who started bombing Iran on false pretenses that they were close to having nuclear weapons.

With that out of the way, my ear heard Grossi outlining that the Iranians were systematically blocking the IAEA inspections at locations where it was highly suspected they were enriching uranium to military levels. The subtext is the Iranians were hell-bent to build nuclear weapons and were very close to accomplishing that though he wouldn't say with any certainty how close.

Perth has a similar climate to LA or San Diego, for the same reasons -- western edge of a continent, being around the same latitude south as LA is north, etc. If it weren't so isolated, seems to me it would be a very popular place to live as far as climate.

Rafael Grossi (director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency) says pretty much close to that:

I think the point that Mr. Witkoff is making, which is correct, is that, of course, from the moment you argue that a research reactor--for which you have a lot of fuel for many years even--necessitates, needs you to continue enriching uranium at 20%, then it is understandable that this is problematic for the United States in the negotiation.

There should be something there that is open even if it is a McDonald's. Remarkably they're civilized in Kansas in spite of the impression Salty leaves. El dorado's totally worth your time to check out even if it is just a drive around for an hour or so.

58 If you think about it, Western Europe is right to be horrified by our war in Iran. They are on a path to soon be either putting down violent Muhammadan riots over mass deportation, or brutalizing their own natives for daring to protest the erasure of their national character, one or the other. So, when we profess concern for Iran's dissidents and disgust with the regime's brutality, Europeans may hear that as a threat to invade them next.

I'm not saying whether it's rational or whether we would, let alone whether we should or even could; those are separate questions. I'm just saying that there could be explicable emotional reasoning behind our erstwhile allies' hissy fit.

You see if they do these things it can't be wrong because they do it to stop Trump. And they must stop him so they can control the country again.

The rescue was an Easter miracle. The enemy was large and violent. The rescuers were brilliant, strong, decisive and as cool as anyone can be.
-- President Donald Trump

Bravery never goes out of fashion
-- William Makepeace Thackery

But the bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding go out to meet it.
-- Thucydides

Where all your rights become only an accumulated wrong; where men must beg with bated breath for leave to subsist in their own land, to think their own thoughts, to sing their own songs, to garner the fruits of their own labours...then surely it is a braver, a saner and a truer thing, to be a rebel in act and deed against such circumstances as these than tamely to accept it as the natural lot of men.
-- Sir Roger Casement

There is a certain enthusiasm in liberty, that makes human nature rise above itself, in acts of bravery and heroism.
-- Alexander Hamilton

I love America. American Exceptionalism...all 250 years of it... is a power that is unrivaled in the world. But I cannot remember a time during which I was more proud of my country and being an American than right now. Our magnificent armed forces, made up entirely of the American people, morphed from a pathetic, woke, mess of a force just a few years ago, into a cohesive group that is entirely focused on one thing: destroying our enemies in defense of our nation. They are magnificent, and represent the highest ideals of our great country.

Fewer late-night “why did I say that?” moments
Sudden bursts of self-awareness
And in rare cases… dignity

Warning: Do not take Premature Postulation if you are currently experiencing a hot take, political rant, or strong urge to argue with strangers.

Premature Postulation: Because some things are better left in the drafts.

From last thread:
>>
Publius, how much navigation can be manually performed by the Orion crew? The Apollo missions could get aligned with a sextant and stars and the rest of it, in a pinch. They wanted to be able to get home again one way or another. Independent of Mission Control, if radio comms were lost, or the Soviets jammed frequencies, or the computer horked.
--------------------

Apollo *required* manual navigation alignment. They had to get their gyro angles manuall reset ever so often and to correct for drift. Think of this as sighting stars to get their own XYZ axis reference properly aligned.

With Orion, it's all automated. Now, I don't know for sure, but I'm certain they would be manual contigency procedures they were trained in if the system failed. But otherwise, manual alignment is not needed.

129 April 6th, 1924, marked the start of the US' attempt to circumnavigate the world by aeroplane.

Four US Army Douglas World Cruisers on that date took off from Seattle. All the navigation they had as via dead reckoning as there were no radios or navigation aids. Two of the four planes would complete the epic journey - Chicago and New Orleans. Two would be lost attempting the heroic effort- Seattle and Boston, all the crews survived.

The planes might have been US Army but the Coast Guard and US Navy would be on hand in planning and support. So this was a fully American effort as ships, personnel, and equipment would be scattered across the globe for this effort.

102 years later, we have witnessed Artemis II go back to the Moon.

Art the Clown sightings. There's a 2011 'Terrifier - the Short'.

The movie is about 20 minutes but cool. 'All Hallow's Eve' has pretty much all the Art clips tossed together. Circle too. A clip show movie. Not too bad. The second one doesn't have Art.

'Hobo with a Shotgun' was really good and messed up. Especially for a Canadian movie.

I have been rather puffed up with pride or flatulence over the USA military since forever,but this rescue, oh, boys. IT IS AWESOME!

On top of the skill and planning, our guys wiped out more barbarians! How sweet it is! And rescued all of the pilots (I know he was a wiz something but I'm calling him a pilot because I can).

I am so proud of every single one involved in this rescue or who helped prepare for it.

Millions of prayers answered on Easter Morning makes it more wonderful for the rescue of this man. The US Military no longer leaves anyone behind, like the previous nightmare in diapers.

Ah, but you're wrong, CBD. Our "force" was never all that woke. It was still full to some extent with people who desire to go against the odds and do great deeds, slaying dragons and toppling tyrants. They weren't allowed to concentrate on that, though. They were stifled, but they were still there, just waiting to burst forth again.

Yes, there are still problematic folks within the ranks, and more than a few in higher ranks and positions. But if the force were truly chock full of wokies and Karens and commies, they never could have come back in one year.

No, these folks were in hiding within the military, waiting for their opportunity to go forth and do great things, once again. BZ, Hooah!, and Aim High!

294 When they find the one smart 'immigrant' who won't open the hatch in while in space that is also trans, black, and female.
———

It isn’t well known, but Commanders on the Space Shuttle took to installing a padlock on the hatch whilst in orbit. There was an incident with one of the foreign “mission specialists” who completely wigged out after the experiment he had been working on for years failed in space. Time is limited, and they had to move on to other things. He started talking in apocalyptic tones and concerning statements. The hatch could be opened in Orbit and ground controllers became concerned

Th extra gas mileage over the Regal's 22 (on regular) almost paid for the price difference. I never got to take the BMW on a real road trip; I'll bet I could have managed 35 mpg or more even at 70.

The LaCrosse is rated for regular, though I try to put E0 in it when I can. Saw 34 on E0 coming back from Birmingham last year, at 70 the whole way, with the A/C on!

A good friend of mine (now deceased) was on the planning team for Son Tay. It was an incredible accomplishment given the technology and intelligence of the time. We got better with the bin Laden raid but still managed to step on our crank.
The difference here is those events had time to plan. This rescue had just hours to put together a plan and to execute. Sure, an overall SAR plan was in place but you don't know when or where someone goes down. This is where Americans shine.

Well, have fun for me as I have loved it since college! I think I've been to Westminster Abbey 5 times. They day the barbarians burn it down I will go a bit loco, as I was bad enough for Notre Dame.

Enjoy the window boxes! The first time I went, in college on an English Lit travel study, I enjoyed everything a bit too much from pubs. Brit men asked me to streak three different times (it was big then in the US). They'd rag at me about "Tricky Dick" and I ignored them because I voted for him. I rode a horse through Hyde Park and made a fool of myself. Many things happened over 3 weeks.

On the return flight through Atlanta a bunch of us did not hear our plane number as we were in a bar drinking. My parents said there was a big "Welcome Home" thing at the airport and seven of us did not get off the plane. This, right there, tells you what they put up with but still loved me anyway. We caught the next plane to be welcomed by irritated parents. In case you wondered, I wasn't fazed.

340 I think the dichotomy of the Soviet Union verus the West tended to keep a lot of the airy fairy types at bay. There was a visible demarcation between the systems.

Theirs was a form of government where you couldn’t even buy a toaster or a washing machine or a car that anyone would actually buy otherwise, but there was no choice in the matter.

You couldn’t decide to move somewhere else, or even travel, without permission. You couldn’t quit your job and get another, all these things required permission from the local police and Soviet authorities.

125 There are those suspicious types that noticed that the Iranian Uranium is stored near where the plane went down and the C-130s landed, and suspect there may be some link to a snatch and grab. However, there is supposed to be 600kg there so it would be hard to get it all and stay un-irradiated
Posted by: Kindltot at April 06, 2026 10:11 PM

Enriched uranium is not very radioactive. However, the Iranian stuff is reportedly in the form of compressed uranium hexafluoride gas in tanks, and that is chemically highly reactive and chemically highly toxic.

375 The Soviets had “The Chief Designer”; I think it might have been Korolov. But nobody knew that then, a lot of effort went into trying to figure out who he was at the time.

The very earliest Rocket theorists and designers were Russian, and American. Goddard, who was a bit paranoid. The Germans were a little late to the party, but caught up fast.

Well, that and Tang at my grandparents later in that weekend of forced playing outside with cousins all day. We had gangs and picked on the out of towners from New Orleans.

They only let us inside if it was raining and for meals. This grandfather gave us Dentyne gum.Sugarless poisons early in life. Sometimes this grandmother gave me castor oil without explaining why. I think that's what it was. I was pale but am also blonde.

Between this and riding bikes through DDT clouds in summers made me who I am today.

If injured this grandmother sprayed methiolate or jet fuel on open wounds that nearly sent you into another stratosphere. I don't recall a warning of a bit of a sting...your pain went to 10 or 1l in a split second sitting on that bathroom commode.

420 Speaking of pets, I mentioned in the previous thread that my cat, Robert the Cat (TM), has taken to stomping on my chest and gut during the night at random times. I also mentioned that he's a bit weighty.

Commentors here, the best folks on the planet, suggested that he wants attention.

I get that. He thrusts he head under my hand at every opportunity, and is known to bite randomly when petting is not as immediate as preferred.

The thing is, I get no sleep, during the night and during the day because of these rituals. I understand the need for attention, but if I die and rot, I cannot pet a cat absent some occult rituals you might know.

How is this helpful to him?

429 Per Diogenes' comment and others above, many who were involved may recall one of my favorite sayings about the USSR back in The Glorious Days of Soviet Power and the Cold War.

"The Russians are incapable of anything, except conquering the world".

Which perfectly captured the weird hybrid the USSR was. Things deemed important by the state, i.e. mostly military things, were attended to, received resources, and generally were pretty good - at least good enough for purpose. Which made the USSR a formidable potential menace. Even while much of the country's society and economy was a sad mess.

Maintenance not in your culture or vocabulary? Make things that don't require a lot of maintenance but still work. ICBM accuracy not so hot? Use very large yield payloads that produce damage expectancy similar to more accurate systems. And so on.

Her teaching meant about as much to me as the 4th grade school hygiene class (and I missed Red Skleton because it was Tuesday). I got nothing from that. Or in 5th grade and my friend showing me Barbie and Ken. Spent my years from age 9 to 20 on a farm and still did not get it as I thought the cows and horses were playing.

Speaking of Victor Glover, here's a clip of him the other day. The "Overlook Effect" is hitting him like a freight train:

https://is.gd/7cbJza

He's struggling for the words, but does a pretty good job. "Oasis in nothingness", or something close.

The Overlook Effect happens to most (but not all) astronauts at some point. It's a spiritual, transcendental type of experience. It happens in LEO, but the effect is even stronger when you get far enough from earth to see the Blue Marble effect, the earth as a small blue "oasis" against a black background of "nothingness".

It causes a bit of a Rodney King thing, "why can't we all just get along" too.

Ya want to talk about racism/stereotypes?

Many years ago husband got a big promotion to the office in downtown Chicago.

We are both southerners and moved up to the Chicago area for his job.

OMG, people were horrified because we had southern accents. They assumed we were stupid because we were from the South. It was a trying time.

BTW as the rescue mission was taking place, B-2s from Whiteman struck targets in Tehran with MOP (massive ordnance penetrators, "bunker busters") believed to be the site of a large gathering of IRGC swinging schlongs. No scoreboard results released as yet.

521 The Soviets had accurate ICBMs, but they didn’t want the West to know this. The spooks thought they were having trouble with developing a small device related to guidance called an accelerometer.

They even sent guys to try and buy them in the U.S.A. This tracked with what US intelligence believed. We had SIGINT to hack their telemetry data, and saw they were having trouble, using say, 9 accelerometers where 3 would do. Obviously they were averaging the data to achieve some semblance of accuracy.

Turned out, this was all an elaborate ruse to fool Americans. They were pretty damn crafty.

At least I was never locked out of the house!

She also did not let them have pets as she's very OCD. He had those green samonella turtles til we got engaged and got me a puppy "to protect me." And she did once when she was grown, but he basically wanted a puppy.

I still keep forgetting to find out how the turtles give you salmonella unless you lick them. I need to write this stuff down...

Iran is now threatening to close the Bab al-Mandeb Strait. [entrance to Red Sea, Suez Canal]

That narrow waterway already carries 12% of the world’s oil and gas trade and a big portion of containers moving from Asia to Europe.

542 >> but I thought the spaceship was named Artemis.

Artemis is the name of the program to return to the Moon. Artemis is similar to Apollo in that sense. Artemis Program, Apollo Program.

SLS is the name of the rocket. And Orion is the name of the capsule and spacecraft.

The crew has named this particular Orion spacecraft as Integrity.

...and, if I understand the current dynamic
- SLS, the FrankenRocket is a dead end
- Artemis is getting slow rolled
- Orion is still on the table for further development... if they figure out the head.

549 Swallwell out = bad.

Even though the odds are the same as the US becoming a serious country again in the next 20 years, currently the Dems have a bunch of idiots vying for the nomination, creating a small chance of no Dem emerging from the idiotic "jungle primary" system now used in this retarded paradise.

Extremely unlikely, but technically possible that if all the Dems stay in and split up their cretinous voters' votes in the primary, the two GOP hopefuls will emerge as 1 and 2. It would be the funniest thing in modern history if it happened. The buffoon Swallwell being forced out, by itself, would render that outcome nearly impossible.

Getting Moon fever again (reliving my childhood somewhat), I've been listening to some of the (acclerated) Apollo full mission tapes on Youtube.

Charlie Duke as Capcom was quite a pleasure to listen to. Another Apollo guy was Dr. Charles Berry (but don't call him Chuck), head flight surgeon during the Apollo program.

He had a voice, somewhat Southern with something else mixed him. That voice could convince me of anything. It was down-home, "good ole boy" someone you've known all your life, yet authoritative.

Here's an Apollo 8 mission thing with Dr. Chuck Berry's talking. Go to 54:00 in, and listen. That's Dr. Berry at a press conference. This after Borman got sick.

BTW, one of the frog men who first opened the hatch on Apollo 8 after splashdown said it smelled like a septic tank inside.

Our discussions of the Apollo tape-a-bag-to-your-ass space toilet system should explain why. Yep, Borman had "loose stool" that went all over the damn capsule.

I’ve been out to Marta and seen the lights; there an overlook on the highway outside Marfa which onverlooks a long dry plain, probably about 40 miles visibility. It’s weird; they seem ordinary, but nobody can explain them, and first recorded sightings were in the 19th century.

For example, they look like car headlights in the distance, big deal. But there aren’t road out there deep in the brush where they are. The night we were watching, we saw a pair and were thinking “well obviously just somebody in a jeep out there fooling around at night.” We watched them stick right together traveling in a straight line for a couple of minutes. And then suddenly they just split up. Started moving quickly at 180 degrees to each other! Nope, not a jeep. What are they? Lots of people have tried to get close, but they always disappear.

I love that place! Taken my grandson there several times. You can swim on the Paluxy River which runs through the park, and I think it’s the biggest collection of exposed dinosaur tracks in the country, maybe even the world. One wide spot is called “the ballroom”, a flat limestone base maybe 50 yards wide, with literally hundreds of prints in it.

One of the most well known trackways is the where there was a mid sized sauropod, with feet like elephants feet, and there’s a three toed theropod clearly tracking him. (Probably an Allosaurus). You can tell because the trackers footprints are on top of some of the sauropods, showing that they were made at the same time and that the predator was coming up from behind.

And although most are eroded, I found a couple where at the tip of the three toed print, you could even see a deep indention where the claw sank into the mud.

Fort Worth police received calls on April 3, 2026, about a man possibly under the influence soliciting minors for sex at the 3700 block of Century Place apartment complex. Officers arrived at 11:43 a.m. and heard a gunshot. Marckus Renfro, 33, had exchanged words with the man matching the description. As Renfro walked away, the victim approached aggressively. Renfro then shot him in the groin [other accounts say penis]. The victim collapsed near a convenience store.

640 The Russians only got low level workers from the German rocket program. The best German rocket engineers went to the US via Operation Paperclip. The secret to the early Russian success in the Space Race is mostly due to Sergei Korolev, who managed to do great things in the Russian space program despite his constant fear of being denounced and thrown back in prison. He had been sentenced to a long prison term in Stalin’s Great Purge in the 1930s. He was convicted on trumped up charges based on confessions extracted by torture from his colleagues. It was amazing what was accomplished in the USSR despite their cruel and malevolent government.

Collaboration with evil benefits not but the evil.
The more consistent will prevail

Stalin called together his closest comrades-in-arms. "I understand you're wondering how I govern the people so that every last one of them ... thinks of me as a living god. Now I'll teach you the right attitude toward the people." And he ordered a chicken brought in. He plucked it live, in front of them all, down to the last feather, down to the red flesh, until only the comb was left on its head. "And now watch," he said, and let the chicken go. It could have gone off where it wished, but it went nowhere. It was too hot in the sun and too cold in the shade. The poor bird could only press itself against Stalin's boots. And then he tossed it a crumb of grain, and the bird followed him wherever he went. Otherwise, it would have fallen over from hunger. "That," he told his pupils, "is how you govern our people."

And how LIB Strategic Insanity has gunned you down and set fire to your children (... and indeed, the world)

Yep. About 2/3 of the way from Pgh to Uniontown, where the AFM local I belonged to was located.
Pgh, strangely enough (/sarc), is a big union town, and if you wanted to work anything besides wedding receptions (which I did a lot of), like bars, you better have a union card. Only problem was, the Pgh local was pretty much dominated by actual professional musicians, guys that made their living at it. People who wanted to play a couple of gigs a month were not considered, so the initiation fee was $100, and monthly was $25. This was early 60s, when the minimum wage was a buck an hour. Way back in the mists of time, the Pgh and Uniontown locals had an agreement that each could work in the other's territory. Uniontown initiation fee was $35 and monthly was $10. Us Uniontown guys would take gigs that they couldn't afford, and their local hated it.
The national got complaints and finally figured out how to "fix" it: form a new local in Charleroi, merge the Uniontown and Charleston local, and kill the agreement. Net result, fewer bars with live music.

694 "Spent my years from age 9 to 20 on a farm and still did not get it as I thought the cows and horses were playing."

Wow, I'm surprised that you saw an aroused stallion mounting a mare and thought that was playing after you were 13 or so. On the other hand, a coupling pair of large quadrupeds are pretty vulnerable to predators, so it does tend to be a quick in-and-out.

Still, the launcher doesn't extend or retract that quickly.

Monday Cafe

jonathanthetortoise193yearsyoung.jpg
Jonathan the Tortoise, 193 years young

Raising a beautiful orphaned joey.

A senior dog was dumped at the shelter, but found a better family.

One-dog reenactment of Sunset Boulevard.

Dog-punking: a national scourge. I thought we had outgrown this cruelty.

Dog is the star of the game -- he retrieves the kicking tee after kickoffs. This isn't normal, right? I've never heard of this before.

A golden retriever was used as breeding dog with each of her puppies taken from her. Now she's been rescued. And she treats stuffed animals as if they're the puppies taken from her.

A hero dog protected his family from a bear that slashed and bit him. He's healing up now. The bear remains at large and out of control.

Dog and goose are friends.

Jay Mohr impersonates Bill Burr and his shitty superior attitude.

Naughty little elephant brother.

Hot song from 1936. I know people use AI to make parody versions of early naughty songs, but this is apparently real. Lyrics here.

It's hard to believe, but the Artemis crew are seeing features on the far side never seen by human eyes before.

Mare Orientale overhead in sunlight is one of those. The timing of the Apollo missions was such that it was lunar morning on the chosen landing site. This was for thermal reasons as well as lighting. They wanted a low sun angle when landing the LM, which helped see the surface relief better than high sun angle. Thus Mare Orientale was in the dark when the CSM flew over.

Speaking of inspiring words, there's something they calle the Overlook Effect that happens to most, but not all astronauts when they first get into space. It's a transcendent, spirtual kind of experience. It happens in LEO, but for the now 28 people who have seen the "Blue Marble" view, where they're far enough away to see the Earth as a small blue globe in their field of view, the experience is something else.

Here's Victor Glover the other day, who had that Overlook Effect hit him like a freight train:

75 I've been using the Feline Pine litter material Joyenz recommended on the Pet Thread a while back. $12 at Walmart for 40 lbs. After filling the clean box to a depth of about an inch, I was able to fit the rest into a 30-lb. Petco litter bucket. Which suggests that I can get three more 10-lb. refills out of this bag -- maybe a month total? Seems to me I changed the box more often than that with the clay stuff.

Fortunately the cats are fine with the new stuff.

As other commenters here who've used it said, the urine sort of turns the little pine pellets into sawdust. You shake the box and that tends to settle toward the bottom of the pan. Solids you scoop out. Eventually the smell becomes a bit much, and you simply dump the whole thing in the trash. It seems to weigh less than the equivalent amount of the clay, and cleaning the box up is easier.

I do plan to get the cats a stainless steel pan for even easier cleanup. Maybe a second one, when I have my house.

... DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin floats the idea of stripping CBP/customs officers from airports in large sanctuary cities as retaliation for refusing to cooperate with the federal government. International travelers wouldn’t be able to fly into airports and leave without going through customs.

Some very cool descriptions. Artemis is now in the dark, the Sun is now blocked by the Moon from their POV. I'll admit it took me a bit tog the geometry visualized in my mind's eye. Anyway, earthset and rise occurred before the sun disappeared. After earthrise, the Moon was between the earth and sun. They are far enough away from the Moon to allow this easily.

Anyway, their describing the sun's corona, still visible. Also, on the other side, they say the earthshine is quite bright on the surface of the Moon.

Man, I'm really looking forward for the high resolution pics we'll get when they get back home. After they've processed the alien bases out of the far side pictures, of course.

Cheaper cars had fabric seats. My '75 Maverick had a sort of foamy fabric on the seat facings, with vinyl on the sides. My '84 For Escort had dark gray plaid fabric framed by thin vinyl; hard to think much cheaper than that, or that car.

For sure. My '86 Mercedes had the real stuff, I think -- that was in the days when they built the cars the best they could, then priced them, instead of building to a price. My '97 MB 230 had their MBTex, which is a kind of hard-wearing vinyl used in Euro taxicabs and in certain of their sedans then (and maybe still is?). It looks like leather and lasts even longer.

I'd never buy a car with a black exterior AND interior. Or a black interior; they are hot, show dirt (despite what everybody tries to tell you), and seem smaller inside than a light color.

I did rent a Chrysler 300 some years ago, the big gangsta sedan, black over black. I thought it would be hard to cool, but the A/C worked well. Strangely, I got bored with it quickly and was glad to go back to my '11 Buick Regal, the sporty-ish little four-door.

227 I did once sit in a '67 Mercedes 250SL, the 113 chassis that was their sport car in those days. It was a dark silver-gray color, and the interior, leather or MBTex, was . . . a dark chocolate brown like a 70% cocoa Lindt bar! Not a color you see any more. It's hard to find a new-ish vehicle with a interior other than gray, black, or light tan, mostly the first two.

Though it would make the interior seem smaller, it sounds like a neat color if the exterior was lighter. The Euro cars, and the Japanese ones to a lesser extent, seem to understand about giving you a choice of contrast between exterior and interior. American cars now, not so much. I had to hunt quite a bit to find a light beige interior Buick LaCrosse. That was essential. I'd have accepted a dark exterior -- though I got very lucky and found my ruby red over cream 2016 model!

Same here. They look dirty, or like a toy car whose maker was too cheap to provide silver or chrome wheels.

On certain cars, they can look ok. I hate matte. So if they have dark metal (or metal veneer) on the wheels, I like it a lot better.

The 2001 had high polish solid aluminum. I know it was solid because my rear driver side one got snapped when the truck hit me. The high polish Looked FAR better than the silver mat of the base.

I kind of hate base model NBs. They look like toys.

279 >> f the moon is practically full, what are they seeing on the back side of the moon? Not much will be lit, and there is no earthshine back there.

Moon phase is 78% waning now. From their perspective a good bit of the far side was in sunlight. As the Sun disappeared by the lunar disc, part of the dark half, "to their left with North as up" would be illuminated by earthshine.

If not cloudy tonight, take a gander at the Moon. The dark park of the disc to the west is the piece of the Moon being illuminated by the earthshine.

The last year of that generation, like mine. All of my Buicks have been relatively cheap to run -- at least compared to my vintage Mercedes -- but the '16 is the champ. Pretty much all I've replaced in seven years have been tires and batteries, the usual fluids and filters, one headlight, and a wheel bearing.

If after seven years you still smile when you walk up to your car, it's a good car.

363 Vintage cars and trucks had a long, circuitous wiring route, from the battery, switch, firewall and dash, down to the bright switch on the floor, out to the lights. Numerous grounds and connections, which quickly became corroded. High resistance.

Headlights don’t (or didn’t) use fuses, for safety reasons. Breakers, incorporated in the switch. All that corrosion raised the resistance and the switch gets hot.

SO, “back in the day” you might find yourself driving at night on a long trip - and your headlights go out! Not fun. Headlight relays obviated this problem and keep the drama away.

Good clean tight grounds and connections are important in the old school cars and trucks.

My fling with BMW was just that, a spring romance. A 2015 3 Series sport sedan, the base model with run flat tires (that oddly were not hard and stiff to drive on), all kinds of features, gold over cream, 240 hp. Got totaled in a rainstorm flood three months after I bought it. Guess it just wasn't meant to be.

369 >> The Apollo guys landed early in the lunar morning.

Careful planning went into that. They wanted it to early morning at the landing site for several reasons. One was thermal control. They wanted the surface just warming up after the 2-week long night.

Second, they wanted a low sun angle during landing to cast long shadows to see surface relief. Also, with the rovers, a low sun made for a nice navigation reference. It didn't move much over the course of their say, and if it all else failed, they could reckon position from the sun.

Because of lunar libration, we see, over the long term, about 59% of the surface. There's libration in longitude and latitude and they have different periods. It takes about 6 years, and maybe as much as 18 yr (nodal precession cycle) to see all of that 59%.

Over the course of any few successive months, you'll come close to the 59% but not the full monty.

Yup, new lights are super bright. Harley always used the regular sealed beam headlights you found on cars, and eventually they switched to lights that use the H-4 halogen bulbs which you can change to even brighter ones, or switch them to an LED bulb. They are the same size as the regular sealed beam headlight so you can retro fit older bikes without changing the entire housing. Just pop out the sealed beam and put the new unit in. Because of that they fit the old classic muscle car. I'm soooo looking to do that, because those old sealed beams are absolutely frigging useless on that car. For $30 each I solve a huge problem.

I have two newer small SUVs with the super bright LEDs.
The low beams are very precise, if a bit wide. With no other cars on the road they do not even light up mail boxes, the posts but not high enough to light up the boxes.

That said, there are a LOT of MFers that run all their lights all the time. You can because if they are behind you there are harsh shadows and signs higher than mail boxes are lit up.

Blowin' Up Stuff Real Good Open Thread

This guy is funny. He's a good shot, so he must know about gun safety. But his familiarity breeds contempt. For example, can you spot which weapon-handling mistakes he's making in this video?

I've cued up these videos to the most explosive parts, but there's a lot of good stuff throughout them.

Hunting oxygen tanks.

Shooting an oxygen tank inside a car.

Firing all four barrels of a four barrel shotgun at a watermelon at inadvisably close range.

In one of the dumbest "tests" he does, he puts a grenade in an oven and then blasts it with a flamethrower for a minute (from a yard away, mind you) to see what happens. I don't know if this is real. There's a cut between the grilling of the grenade and the actual detonation.

Shooting a crossbow bolt through spray propellant cans.

A .50 cal Barrett versus propane and oxygen and acetylene tanks. Stay with this one until he takes the second shot, and then skip ahead to him shooting the other tanks. He takes another big second shot here, too.

Shooting a whole bunch of propane and oxygen tanks with an M60.

Can you blow up oxygen and propane tanks inside a van you've rigged to drive in a circle by shooting it with a .50 cal machine gun? I should warn you this one's a damp squib but it's fun watching the van get shot to pieces.

In this one, he shoots at a Pepsi vending machine with ever-larger calibers. He only does real damage with the Barret and I think the .408. I've cued it up to the part after that, when he decides to just put a grenade in it.

Can you explode an oxygen tank inside a safe with armor-piercing incendiary rounds?

44 FNC's show "The Five" just aired a segment about a recent SNL skit (Holy Saturday eve) about a Trump assassination that had the studio audience howling with laughter.

I was a young adult when JFK was shot dead in Dallas, and this SNL thing makes me wonder. If we'd had short-news-cycle cable in 1963, and BlueSky and X and Reddit at our fingertips on our little devices, what would have been the reaction to half the country jumping with joy about the guy they did not vote for getting his brains blown out by a sniper?

What would you do today, if someone blew Trump's brains out and you witnessed dancing in the streets?

Would there be a slow boil and a civil war? Or would we all just chill?

58 JFK was a Democrat icon. If he were assassinated today there would be mourning on both the right and the left. If Trump were assassinated today there would be celebrations from much of the left, because they are a party of feelings, not thoughtful reflection. The right would mourn, but would also think about what the left’s reaction means, and would consider what should be done about it.

I don't know if the toilet is completely down or not. The trouble is the waste water venting system now. The damn thing has been tending to freeze up and vents slow. Crapper's full problem.

They had Christina at one time giving detailed reports of the venting clouds she was seeing. They tried to turn the capsule so the vent was facing the sun to help de-ice it. That did increase the flow rate a little, but it's still too slow.

Reddit was a terrible venue, in part because The Deathworlders got so much fanfic that it took other pages to keep track of the complete list, then which ones were canon, and then the chronological reading order. And none of that kept track of which ones you'd already read, aside from your open tabs or the color of the hyperlink. Then "First Contact" was awesome but also getting confusing to follow on that terrible website, oh but I just remembered that he also put it on Royal Road so I should just re-read it from the start:

158 The Moon is famously unphotogenic. Everything bad about photography is heightened when it's photographed. The newer photo post processing tools can make it a bit more interesting but forget it when it comes down to processing a real-time signal.

It's not very appealing to the naked eye either.

What tends to really pop-out are photos of when the terminator is near when there is some contrast generated by the shadows and the incidence angle doesn't washing else out.

Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel at April 06, 2026 06:37 PM (ESVrU)


Put the astronaut and toilet on one end of a ridgid swing and have a suitable counterweight on a ridgid rod attached to the swing pointed in the opposite direction. Once the astronaut is comfortably seated, start spinning up the apparatus until sufficient “artificial gravity” has built up, and use the toilet as normal. Then when finished deaccelerate the apparatus until you have brought it to a stop. Do NOT stand up while the swing toilet is in motion or the Coriolis forces will probably make you spew from both ends. Since spinning up and spinning down the swing toilet will apply torques to the spacecraft, it might be optimal to pair counterrotating swing toilets that rotate simultaneously in opposite directions, even if two astronauts don’t need to go at the same time. Bonus: two seats, no waiting!

The right has a lot of engagement farmers now, people who have no real conviction, who fake turning on Trump for rage bait, who police others, or decry policing, and it's just very boring.

As stated above I can appreciate his social/political commentary. It's at least semi-consistent whether I agree with it or not. He was a "Mano Sphere" guy kinda before all that really started and hit the MAGA train hard when it was leaving the station. But his Mano-Manliness ended with COVID, he went mask Nazi and COVID shot crazy....then kind of just pretends it never happened and went back to the Maniless ManoStuff.

I find the history of these types/groups more interesting (mostly) than the actual commentary.

Iran Rejects Cease-Fire Proposal

Iran Rejects Latest Cease-Fire Proposal, Wants Permanent End to War

Iran has rejected a new cease-fire proposal from the United States, insisting instead on a permanent end to the conflict along with firm guarantees against future attacks, according to the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).

The decision, announced on April 6, comes just hours before U.S. President Donald Trump’s deadline for Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face potential strikes on key infrastructure, including power plants and bridges.

Iran communicated its response through Pakistan, signaling that it is unwilling to accept a temporary pause in hostilities.

“We won’t merely accept a ceasefire,” Mojtaba Ferdousi Pour, head of Iran’s diplomatic mission in Cairo, said in remarks to The Associated Press.

“We only accept an end to the war with guarantees that we won’t be attacked again.”

Now, he's becoming increasingly unhinged and desperate as Iran is simply not backing down, and they got him by the balls.

This war would have never started if we just released the Epstein files back in December like the DOJ was required to do. Trump should be in prison, yet he’s in the Whitehouse in way over his head and is going to get our service men and women killed. All because our president is an *alleged* sexual predator. This is an absolute travesty.

I think trump was expecting iran to have a shitty military like Iraq and Afghanistan. Iran has a real military that's scoring some big kills. Trump is still in denial.

They declined terms because that allows USA and Israel breathing room to plan and most importantly produce and restock interceptor missiles and other measures.

Though the IRGC and the government might be bitter ender hardcases, I think part of the problem is that once they let pressure off, they foresee themselves hanged from construction cranes by their good citizens who they have oppressed for near on 50 years.

I can see why the remnant of the Iranian government would find it impossible to surrender. They are probably dead meat on a stick if they do. And their entire legitimacy and existence since 1979 has involved opposing the Little and Great Satans, and never backing down.

And who knows? Their demoralization and sabotage efforts in the US might pay off, if they can hold out long enough. It's a long shot, but it's all they've got.

The two MH-6 Little Bird helos that were destroyed in-place were flown-in on one or more C-130s. Not joking. It's SOP for SpecOps. Some of the main rotor blades are removed, the remainder folded-back along the tail boom, and in they go. Trump said it only took 10 minutes to reassemble them after they were pushed out of the C-130s. Those tiny helos do not have aerial refueling capability, so were no doubt left behind when they were running out of time to get out of Dodge. Didn't have time to refuel them or disassemble and get them into C-130s.

These idiot commies don't understand, iran DOES have a shitty military. But it's unrealistic to expect that we could kick the shit out of them without losing some assets or more importantly, losing some lives. It's war, it's baked into the cake, and I'm pretty sure that Trump knows that.

This is correct.

It's basically a stronger version of the Democrats/Libtards?Commie version of the "Arc of History" and "Reality is Progressive" silliness.

They're going to win no matter how insane their ideas are because, they conform to the "Arc of History".

With the Shia running Iran, everything conforms to the emergence of the 12th Iman as foretold by god himself.

So, yep, as long as they keep fighting they will win or so they believe.

You'd think they accept the reality of their defeat by now but nope. The government officials may have to be killed right down to the last man and woman.

To be honest, I'm kinda shocked that some ambitious lower functionary hasn't fragged the leadership by now.

My daughter is a programmer and says AI is okay for small, discrete tasks, but turns into a giant CF (my words) for larger tasks.

The problem for her and other programmers is that it's just going to keep getting better.

Translators did it to themselves. They're nearly all nose ring women with bright green hair now. There was a recent incident where characters in a Japanese anime said "Merry Christmas" in English and the American translator changed it to "Happy Holidays" and inserted a Kwanzaa reference. X's auto-translate has proven that Grok can do idiomatic Japanese/English translation at a large scale.

Grok said Iran exported about 2.2 million barrels of oil a day, mainly to China. Opec is near capacity but at high enough prices, that can be made up over a while.

Gas is still cheaper than the $5.02 under Biden, which was 'totally not his fault' according to the lefties. Covid! Russia!

204 Easter egg hunt horror as kids stumble across possible small human skull

Authorities in Long Beach have launched an investigation after possible human remains were found during an Easter egg hunt Sunday.

Police were called to DeForest Park on the 5900 block of De Forest Avenue at approximately 5 p.m. after a family looking for eggs found what appeared to be a small skull in the ground.

Aerial footage obtained by Fox11 shows what appears to be a skull protruding out of the ground with authorities nearby as they clear the scene.

Family members told CBS that along with the small skull, which they think belongs to a child, there were other small bones nearby.

245 When I listen to an AI generated narration of a video, it all sounds great until the AI makes an obvious pronunciation error. Like the word “lead”: should it be pronounced to rhyme with “red” or “reed”? A human narrator would know from context, but AI doesn’t understand context and will give the wrong reading at times. This is jarring along with an inability to properly swear: an AI will read out the letters and symbols as “F,” “asterisk,” “asterisk,” “K,” even when the script has the proper four letter word in it, since it is not allowed to speak the word properly.

Water is now more precious than oil, entire regions of the country have, or will soon be, inhabitable. Money for dams, water diversion projects, are all a means to line the pockets of the wealthy. Water for nuclear weapons projects, water for weapons production, water for mining, water for foundries. The national aquifers are being drained faster than they can be naturally replenished - to the point that they are poisoned by natural salinization. Reservoirs are at record low levels.

He placed a sign on the table that read, "Male Privilege is a myth / Change My Mind," sat down with a mug of coffee, and waited for students to debate him. A photograph of that event quickly became a meme with people swapping their slogan for Crowder’s. I think this lead to Kirk’s “Prove Me Wrong,” which is a more intellectual approach than Crowder’s (after all, you could change somebody’s mind by using sufficient force, or even the threat of it, at least outwardly).

He shut up for awhile when the others told him if he's quiet and sits in the back, they'll take him to Bucky's.

72 Supreme Court vacates Steve Bannon contempt-of-Congress charges. The Court did not explain its decision. There were no noted dissents.

SCOTUS returned this case because the prosecution pulled it. There really wasn't an option for SCOTUS. This is Trump helping his buddies in a way that follows the law. For this particular case, the spin is to make SCOTUS look bad rather than the real perpetrator, Trump.

So congressional subpoenas are effectively toothless. The court clearly thinks that only one of the three branches matters at any given time: the executive when a Republican is president, and the judiciary when a Democrat is president.

The whole structure of the court was always destined to get out of control. They are a group of non- elected god- kings who serve for life and can’t be removed. They have no reason to care about what the public thinks. The constitution protects them from accountability.

There is a reason why US (and Israeli) pilots will take on about any mission is that they know that if they get shot down, that the rest of the US military is willing to risk life and limb to rescue them. The rest of the US military knows that when they need hell rained down on the enemy that the US pilots will do everything that they can do to deliver it.

$5 says that if we asked him if the constitution gave power to the Supreme Court to decide if laws were constitutional or not, he'd say that it did.

Hint: It didn't. It's the court designed to deal with conflicts between the states and little else.

John Marshall made a fake ruling with no teeth in Marbury that became the basis for the idea of the Supreme Court being important at all. Never granted it by any other branch or by the people, the courts have been implicitly allowed to grow out of control through apathy. Hell, any time Congress did write laws about the courts, they were explicitly limited in scope, refusing things like jurisdiction on certain matters (like immigration) that the courts have been ignoring for decades.

If this poster got what he suddenly wished, a defanged court system, he'd hate the results because the country would shift massively rightward pretty much overnight.

By favorite JAG story from the French era was when a corpsman went to treat a wounded jihadi who then attacked him with a knife leading to the US soldier killing the jihadi and the JAG(offs) decided to charge our soldier with murder.

Well, they leaned on one of the soldiers there with him to testify against the corpsman OR ELSE but being a smart guy he agreed under the terms of a full and complete pardon for himself

Then when the soldier was brought up to testify he...claimed he himself killed the jihadi leaving the JAGOffs with no way forward to charge either of them...

The greatest power is with Congress. If funds everything. It can investigate the president. It can impeach the president. The president doesn't have the power to remove a single member of the House.

President refuses to enforce a law? Congress should deal with it.

Jefferson talked about this, but you don't need the SC to arbitrate. Congress could then remove funding until their interpretation was accepted or the populace either voted out the president or the current congressional majority depending on which they agreed with.

There was nothing to rebel against. Marbury didn't demand any positive action on Jefferson as president. It was essentially dead letter...at the time.

But it set precedent that future SCOTUS used as justification for further infringements.

Oh, they absolutely need someone out of the race. If Swalwell doesn't exit, then there's a good chance that two Republicans would end up competing against each other in the CA governor race. It's a jungle primary, so everyone's on the ballot and the top two vote-getters run. The Dems need to have at least one candidate to get through so they can win, and Porter (or any other Dem) isn't going to win without another Dem leaving.

The head of the CA Dem Party was begging someone to do the right thing and leave. They're not asking nicely anymore.

People like to say that the Constitution is perfect, but that was one big glaring hole in it right from the start. That's why Marbury got away with his after the fact fix of giving the power to the Supreme Court; nobody else was claiming it, and they feared that the Executive could become an Emperor if he had that much power.

Marbury was quite clever, he provided an answer to a problem that nobody else was ready to deal with.

219 210 People like to say that the Constitution is perfect, but that was one big glaring hole in it right from the start. That's why Marbury got away with his after the fact fix of giving the power to the Supreme Court; nobody else was claiming it, and they feared that the Executive could become an Emperor if he had that much power.

Marbury was quite clever, he provided an answer to a problem that nobody else was ready to deal with.

Posted by: Bulg

Good question. I remember Bush Jr saying something similar to "if it's unconstitutional, the courts will let us know" when signing a bill. NO you dolt, you as rep for exec branch have to make that judgement before you sign, same as each congressman before voting to pass. The judicial branch is a co-equal branch, not the ultimate decider on what is constitutional or not. If congress and the executive are in agreement, the best the judiciary can do is gum up the works.

In record time 11th Amendment was passed not necessarily to prevent the contract or tort obligation but certainly to throw cold water on efforts to make a state pay you back. In California for instance you have six months to sue the state for torts. In Nevada state torts are capped at $250,000.

This would happen 8 or 9 times each year, with successful coat recovery about half the time. My daughter went through 3 or 4 coats every year through middle school. A couple of times, we found a coat she lost in October in the school lost and found in March. Some other kid took it home, then "lost" it later.

The sheer seat-of-their-pants fixes and skills required to bring the Apollo 13 astronauts through their maneuvers and navigating would put this mission to shame.

There's far more computing power in the Artemis craft than there was on Apollo and they had to upload window defogging procedures to the crew a couple of days back?

Agreed. From a technical standpoint I'd much prefer SpaceX was doing it, but Trump wants FedGov doing it for this year's 2 1/2-centennial. Along with the LED screens on the Washington Monument so they can make it look like a giant dick and cause Obama to lose his mind.

They could have resolved that by just saying "port-starboard-fore-aft"

However, it is NASA so even putting a dab of paint on would require three months of debate, changes in every mission booklet, and a separate declaration of climate and environmental neutrality matched with the addition of paint documentation in the MSDS and another waiver from EPA.

The 60's were a simpler time, they would notice that something was carcinogenic so they would make sure to verbally instruct the assembly team to wash their hands after using it and call it good.

Is it true that Trump is considering a 45 day cease fire?

Posted by: four seasons at April 06, 2026 02:23 PM (3ek7K

Did you see Iran’s response to the offer? They said they’d consider it if we paid them a billion dollars in reparations for the damage we did. Not kidding.

Trump knew their response would be something idiotic like that, this is why he’s free to make any wild sounding negotiation he thinks sounds good. He gets the PR and moral boost from having made a generous offer, and it’s cost free because the Iranians are incapable of negotiation.

And, of course, words are never allowed to change meanings.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. But I would not be in favor of calling it something else that it isn't, like petunia. Those are different things. The inability to tell one from the other is not to be celebrated.

I mean, changing the meanings of words is not exactly something that I am generally in favor of. I like them the way they are. They represent a real thing, usually. But I'm picky. Decimate is just an example of how people mis used a word and we have re defined it to mean the popular, albeit misunderstood, use.

If you could name a moon crater, what would you name it? (Other than Crater-y McCratorface, of course, that one's a given.)

403 'Decimation' is a bit harder to change the word meaning. It literally has fucking ten in the word.

Decimation was considered extreme even by the romans. To be fair, they were the ones who came up with it for units who ran in battle. Serious business.

In an October 1903 article, the New York Times predicted it would take “one to ten million years” for man to develop a working “flying machine.”

We all know how that turned out. Sixty-nine days later, on Dec. 17, 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright made their historic first successful flight in the heavier-than-air Wright Flyer in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina.
